When we talked to the Blue Team managers of various institutions, we saw that unfortunately they all have a common problem. Managers complain about the lack of SOC analysts with sufficient technical knowledge.
So, can we hold analysts responsible for this problem? Of course not! Unfortunately, this problem is not limited to SOC analysts. While there are many training resources and practical platforms in the offensive side of cyber security, the number of quality resources in the defensive side is very limited.
Those who want to be SOC analysts, on the other hand, find the problems of the lack of quality training materials and the lack of a platform where they can practice.
To eliminate these problems, LetsDefend is here!
