  • SOC Experts – India’s Leading SOC Analyst Training Company Providing Job-Oriented Cyber Security Training

    SOC Experts – India’s Leading SOC Analyst Training Company Providing Job-Oriented Cyber Security Training

    November 10: Pioneer-Indian SOC analyst training company, SOC Experts is on a mission to empower unemployed and employed graduates across the country with job-oriented cyber security training. Witnessing the shortage of skilled security analysts in India and globally, the market-leading company plans to develop world-class cybersecurity professionals through its community-oriented learning approach.

    Aspiring Minds’ Annual Employability Survey 2019 reports that 80% of Indian engineers are unsuitable for jobs in the knowledge economy. Many students (especially from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities) remain unemployed today because they don’t possess the skills necessary to be immediately absorbed by the industry.

    “With a primary focus on job-oriented cyber security training, we aim to increase employability factors by getting both experienced and inexperienced workers job opportunities. Our vision is to bridge the prevalent skill gap in India’s cyber security domain,” claimed Anand Guru the Founder of SOC Experts in an interview.

    SOC Experts is an acclaimed Indian edtech company laser-focused on cybersecurity providing end-to-end training to aspiring cybersecurity professionals. Backed with custom-built infrastructure, certified training professionals, and hands-on experience in cyber security’s latest and greatest technologies, the company has made its mark in the industry since its inception in April 2016.

    SOC Experts is a trusted choice of thousands of security analysts in India. The institution provides world-class faculty, live classes, hands-on labs, an industry-relevant curriculum, video lectures, mock interviews, quizzes, assignments, CV preparation assistance, and trusted content for an affordable fee.

    The main objective of the community-oriented SOC analyst training company is to impart cyber security skills and cyber security knowledge to millions of job aspirants. They have been fulfilling this role with immense dedication by acting as a prominent finishing school for the development of essential technical skills in the field of cyber security. What makes them stand out from other SOC analyst training companies is their unique industry-relevant training approach which enables students to kickstart their cyber security career in a short period.

    “We understand the role of industry expert training and technical aspects in tapping the true potential of the community. Through our platform, MAGIC which stands for Mastery And Growth In Cybersecurity, we plan to hire thousands of industry experts to help millions of job aspirants in the field of cybersecurity,” the Founder added.

    An increase in cyber security hiring and retention challenges has been revealed by the eighth annual cyber security survey from the global IT association ISACA. In 42% of organizations, cyber security teams are understaffed. There is a shortage of cyber security workers in 60% of Indian organizations, according to a report.

    Bridging the gap between skilled cyber security professionals in the country cannot be achieved with a handful of trainers and a few classes. It will take thousands of cyber security field experts to bring a new wave of world-class cyber security professionals to India. Rising automated platforms like SOC Experts are certainly fuelling the fire through their automated platform practices for developing the employability factors of its students.

    “The logistics of scheduling and dispersing payments to all the cyber security training professionals is also automated. Our training experts whom we refer to as Cyber Genies are our biggest strength at the moment. They are the key people behind the inevitable success of our students in the cyber security domain,” he finished.

  • College dropout to one of India’s top ethical hackers – the inspiring journey of Falgun Rathod

    College dropout to one of India’s top ethical hackers – the inspiring journey of Falgun Rathod

    Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], November 10: If you are passionate about something and are willing to work hard for it, success will surely be yours. This is something we have heard many times, but one person who is embodying this in the true sense is Falgun Rathod, one of the top 10 ethical hackers in India.

    Falgun is the founder of Cyber Octet, a cybersecurity company that caters to more than 300 top-notch private and government clients in India, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and is a part of the Indian Servers Group. It holds a distinguished place among the top two promising Internet of Things (IoT) security service provider firms globally and is all set to expand to other regions. Falgun is the first-ever Indian to be featured on the cover of the Poland-based cyber security professionals magazine and has won several prestigious awards and accolades, including recognition from the US Department of Defense.

    While Falgun’s success and fame at the national and international levels are awe-inspiring, the journey has not been an easy one.

    “Before discovering the exciting world of information security, I had my eyes set on becoming a doctor, but my marks were not good enough to help me get into a medical school. I decided to pursue a Bachelor of Computer Application, which was in a way my first proper introduction to the computer,” says Falgun, who hails from a middle-class Gujarati family in Ahmedabad and is a first-generation entrepreneur.

    While pursuing his studies, Falgun also dabbled in multi-level marketing and selling insurance to earn some money. However, he quit the side jobs due to the toll they were exerting on his studies and health. He also worked with a leading retailer when the retail boom was just starting in the mid-2000s, but he wasn’t happy. He was disheartened to some extent but not defeated. He also knew that age was on his side and he would make the most of any learning opportunities that came his way.

    “Every job I worked or interview I appeared for was a chance to learn something. There were self-doubts and insecurities but I realised that I had not found my calling yet. I also realised that I needed to think outside the box,” says Falgun.

    This was also the time when social media was at a nascent stage, and Orkut was the most popular social media platform. Falgun accidentally chanced upon a community of hackers and was fascinated by it. Cybersecurity was still not a very popular or mainstream career choice at the time but Falgun had found his calling. And he has not looked back since.

    He soon learnt the tricks of the trade, armed himself with the skillsets to become an ethical hacker, established relationships with industry leaders and kept updating his knowledge in the field of information security. Soon, he was consulting state and central government agencies on cybersecurity. He established Cyber Octet in 2011, which expanded to three more franchisees in just two years.

    Falgun brought in his friend Bhoomika Pathak as a partner in 2017 after he felt that Cyber Octet wasn’t growing as well as it should. Subsequently, he also onboarded another friend Darshan Pathak as the Sales Head, who too helped the company touch new heights. With the company firmly on the high-growth, Falgun has been focusing on giving back to society. One of his key initiatives is the School of Cyber Security, which has already trained more than 55,000 students in cybersecurity and ethical hacking. His NGO Think High Foundation, which Falgun established along with his partners, has been improving the lives of the needy by providing them with necessities such as food, shelter, medical aid, and other daily needs, and also support in finding employment and women empowerment.

    “My life mantra is very simple. Turn your passion into your profession. It is not easy to discover one’s passion but once you do make sure you give your best to realise it,” he adds.

The bags are handcrafted to perfection to satiate a woman’s never-ending desire of owning handbags. “I have been a shopaholic in the past and have consciously evolved myself into a lifestyle where I embrace sustainability and believe in the dual philosophy where “less is more” when it comes to shopping and “more is more” when it comes to styling” says Aanchal.
