Why Breaking In Is So Hard

Getting hired as an analyst requires experience. But getting experience requires a job. It's the loop that keeps capable people stuck.

The Job Requires Experience

Entry-level analyst positions often require 1-2 years of experience, creating a barrier for newcomers.

Enterprise Tools Are Off Limits

Enterprise tools are prohibitively expensive and unavailable to individuals.

Real-World Context Is Missing

Most training teaches the parts. Real investigations require the whole. To succeed as an analyst, you need experience connecting the dots—not just recognizing them.

SocSim is the Answer

SocSim gives you access to multiple new incidents every week. Created by a current incident responder, these scenarios will feature real TTPs from real incidents, adapted into live simulations you get to investigate.

What's Included

Everything you need to build valued experience and launch your cybersecurity career.

Real-World Scenarios

Work through attacks modeled on actual intrusions, recreated in a live environment with full visibility through CrowdStrike Falcon EDR.

Weekly Walkthroughs

End each week with an expert-led walkthrough of the released scenarios—explaining investigation workflows, sharing professional insights, and answering questions raised by the community.

Crowdstrike University Access

Resume Reviews & Interview Prep

Group sessions to refine your resume, practice interview questions, and prepare for the hiring process.
