Put simply, it\u2019s one versus 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In chess, this is called the simultaneous exhibition. The mechanics of the game is simple: The single player must play against 20 people at the same time. She must move from one board to another while simultaneously defending against her opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, what if we move the game to the digital arena? Instead of multiple chessboards, imagine the wide realm of cyberspace. On one side is a single team of cyber security professionals. On the other, multiple teams of cyber criminals trying to breach through their defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game remains simple. To win, the team of cyber security professionals must keep tabs on all the moving pieces and outmaneuver all of their opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stakes, however, are higher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the cyber criminals win, they leave with tons of stolen private data that can sell for millions on the dark web. If the cyber security professionals win, they retain the privacy of millions of users and save enterprises a huge chunk of cash. The former only needs to win once to inflict significant damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyber security is a grand game of chess, and working to train the good guys is cyber security bootcamp <a href=\"https:\/\/leveleffect.com\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Level Effect<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-it-like-to-attend-level-effect-cyber-security-bootcamp\">What Is It Like to Attend Level Effect Cyber Security Bootcamp?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, former NSA cyber operators and Level Effect founders Greg Ake and Robert Noeth rolled out the school\u2019s first immersive program, the <a href=\"https:\/\/leveleffect.com\/home\/cyber-defense-analyst-bootcamp\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cyber Defense Analyst Bootcamp<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its rollout was timely. With 2020 dubbed as the banner year for cybercriminals, it became vital to have a school such as <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/level-effect-deep-dive\/\">Level Effect training the next generation of cyber security experts<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A year later, the bootcamp is living up to its promise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t take our word for it. Here\u2019s what two of Level Effect\u2019s alumni have to say about their learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expect-strong-teacher-student-relationships-i-have-never-had-a-teacher-be-so-involved-before\"><strong>Expect Strong Teacher-Student Relationships: \u201cI have never had a teacher be so involved before.\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI did not know how much I did not know [about cyber security] until I went into the bootcamp,\u201d said Level 1 threat operations analyst John Brennan, \u201cand I honestly have Rob and Greg to thank for that.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having been one of the first students of Level Effect, John attested to the high level of attention and involvement that both founders-cum-instructors provide during the three-month run of the program and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have never had teachers be so involved before,\u201d said John. \u201cEven if they didn\u2019t have the time, they took the time to help me with my resume, my LinkedIn, and pretty much anything I needed help with. Any random question I sent at whatever time, they always answered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I got the interview [for my current job], I talked to them about it\u2026[Greg] helped me prepare for the interview,\u201d he said. \u201cThat was just my favorite thing [about the bootcamp], I could send [Rob and Greg] some weird Malware, and either one of them would start picking it apart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know no teacher would ever go as far as they did for me,\u201d said John. A few weeks before graduating from Level Effect, John secured a job as a threat operations analyst at security firm Huntress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust the teachers alone made [attending Level Effect] worth it,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then you add the course content.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-from-an-industry-led-curriculum-it-covers-high-level-knowledge-but-delivers-it-at-an-easier-level-of-understanding\"><strong>Learn from an Industry-Led Curriculum: \u201cIt [covers] high-level knowledge but [delivers it] at an easier level of understanding.\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[Before Level Effect], I spent a large amount of time looking for the right bootcamp. I read through 40 different courses,\u201d said John. \u201cWhen I saw how deep each section of the Level Effect curriculum gets into, I knew that the course was going to be better for me than anything else I could\u2019ve taken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Level Effect Cyber Defense Analyst program covers the core concepts of cyber security. By delivering 13 weeks of part-time, online classes, Level Effect promises to train students of all learning levels to become high-performing analysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have never seen a course prepare you to be a SOC [security operations center] analyst Level 1 better than this course&#8230;The great thing about the course is it [covers] high-level knowledge but [delivers it] at an easier level of understanding,\u201d John said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo instead of someone just trying to barrel high-level knowledge down your throat, Greg and Rob walk you through everything&#8230;and it just makes you a way better analyst.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[For instance], in the bootcamp, we learned how to investigate malware the old way. So, we used auto-runs, the sys internal suite, proc mon, proc explorer, where we looked for a file where it was starting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow, I use that in my job when I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m looking at. I go all the way back to the basics\u2026and it\u2019s the perfect way to give me a baseline and lift me,\u201d said John, adding that the Level Effect program had actually delivered more than what it initially promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy goal at the moment [is] to level up as high as I can. Right now, that [means working toward becoming a] Level 3 analyst. It\u2019s going to take some work, obviously. There are a lot of different knowledge gaps between the levels,\u201d said John.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut the nice thing about Level Effect is it got me pretty much all the way to 100 percent of Level 1, and maybe 90 percent of Level 2.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-work-through-realistic-hands-on-training-the-labs-simulated-challenging-real-world-cyber-security-issues\"><strong>Work Through Realistic, Hands-On Training: \u201cThe labs simulated challenging real-world cyber security issues.\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Also a former Level Effect student, Caitlin Yong acknowledged the rigor and practicality of the Level Effect program. \u201cI chose to attend Level Effect because I wanted applicable and hands-on experience in cyber security,\u201d she said. Weeks into the program, Caitlin got what she asked for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA typical day [in class] started after a nine-hour day at work and jumping into the bootcamp call on Microsoft Teams,\u201d said Caitlin, who took the program while working full time as a Traffic-ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) Engineer at Muller Engineering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMondays and Tuesdays were usually lecture days, and Wednesdays and Thursdays were used for lab work in groups&#8230;The labs simulated challenging real-world cyber security issues. They pushed me to think from the perspective of a cyber security analyst and immersed me fully into the profession.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Level Effect training was very realistic and prepared me to tackle any cyber security-related issue out there,\u201d said Caitlin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John added, \u201cI learn by doing. I do not learn by watching a board all day long. The greatest part about [Level Effect] is that [the instructors] walk you through how to do all this crazy stuff as you sitting there just doing it [too].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s way better than a normal class because, for me, I can read something a hundred times, and maybe I\u2019ll learn from it. But if I do it one time, then I know I\u2019ll have it down in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-be-part-of-a-student-empowered-classroom-the-program-was-challenging-but-to-the-point-where-it-motivated-me\"><strong>Be Part of a Student-Empowered Classroom: \u201cThe program was challenging [but] to the point where it motivated me.\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the words of John: \u201c[The Level Effect Cyber Security Analyst Bootcamp] was probably the hardest class I have ever taken, and I never thought it would be&#8230;But my favorite part was that no matter how challenging it got, it was never too hard to the point where I wanted to give up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was challenging [but] to the point where it drove me and motivated me. I just really wanted to figure [the problems] out, and it just irked me when I didn\u2019t.\u201d Level Effect balances the scale between rigor and support by cultivating a student-empowered classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[My experience going through a traditional school was] if you ask for help, [teachers] would just basically send you a wave,\u201d said John. \u201cWith [Level Effect instructors], they would always slowly hint things which you use to build your understanding until you find the answer yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also helps that the instructors treat students with equal respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m 22 years old, and [across] different jobs or courses, a lot of people treated me like I was a younger kid, which I get because I am young,\u201d said John. \u201cBut Greg and Rob always treated me like I was just another person\u2014an adult.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Level Effect empowers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a 22-year-old student like John or a 52-year-old learner, you can come into the program and get the same level of instruction, guidance, and attention as anyone else.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-level-effect-students-where-are-they-now\">Level Effect Students: Where Are They Now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-caitlin-yong-traffic-its-engineer\"><strong>Caitlin Yong: Traffic-ITS Engineer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom working as a Technical Lead on connected vehicle technology projects, I learned quickly that cyber security is crucial to the success of any transportation technology project,\u201d said Caitlin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her training at Level Effect served as an on-ramp for expertly navigating cyber security-related issues in her field and approaching problem-solving with more creativity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the next five years, I hope to get my Professional Engineer (P.E) license in Traffic Engineering and to lead technology deployment projects with cyber security in mind,\u201d said Caitlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-john-brennan-level-1-threat-operations-analyst\"><strong>John Brennan: Level 1 Threat Operations Analyst<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted to feel that I was doing something that made a difference,\u201d said John when asked about his career choice. \u201cWhen I looked at cyber security, I realized how many people actually got attacked and compromised&#8230;I wanted to stop things like that.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, he gets to do that daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy day can be slow or fast; there is no in-between,\u201d said John. \u201cI start work at about 11 am CST&#8230;Usually, I check reports right away. We have incidents where something may have ransomware so we look at something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOtherwise, [a day at work] might be just doing some investigations on different files that look malicious and reporting on it. That\u2019s pretty much what 90 percent of my job is: figuring out what something is, reporting it, and telling them how to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also get to hunt, which is just a queue where you look through a bunch of files. It\u2019s so beautiful. Sometimes there are thousands of them but it\u2019s just amazing&#8230;It\u2019s impressive to see what such a small group can do when put together as one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from finding employment, John also got another bonus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI moved to a place of my own but literally by three minutes [away from my previous home],\u201d John said with a laugh. \u201cI moved out of my parents\u2019 house because I can finally afford to live on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 22 years old and with a new career, \u201cI\u2019m trying to start my life,\u201d said John.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-want-to-start-yours\"><strong>Want to Start Yours?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Experience the holistic training that Level Effect offers, courtesy of its industry-led curriculum and \u201chyper-involved\u201d instructors.&nbsp;<br>Take a seat in the Level Effect Cyber Defense Analyst classroom, and jumpstart your cyber security career. <a href=\"https:\/\/leveleffect.com\/cyber-defense-analyst-bootcamp-application\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Be one of the good guys.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Picture 20 chessboards set up next to each other.
