I sat the exam for 8.5 hours and passed with an 80%. Won't be able to cover much detail about the exam because of NDA, but It was a fun one. I'd say it was the best certification exam I have ever taken.
I used up 40 out of the 100 hours of lab time provided by the course. Redoing the labs, taking notes, and trying to understand why and how the techniques and tools are used helped me pass the exam. Approaching the course with the mindset of "I'm here to learn" instead of just trying to get the cert as fast as possible also helped me relax.
I also used external materials (see below) to better understand the topics that I wasn't strong at.
These were the additional resources I used to get more practice in areas that I was weak at:
I found this certification exam and training course to be the best of its kind. The course content was comprehensive and in-depth, and the practical labs were engaging and informative. I believe that the value of this certification will only increase over time, as it is well-suited for those who are interested in the technical aspects of blue teaming, such as network defense, digital forensics, and incident response. I would highly recommend this certification exam and training course to anyone who is looking to advance their career in cybersecurity.
I was in need of a more practical and in-depth course to fill in my lack of technical knowledge in blue team, specifically SOC Analyst role. After , the certification only fulfilled the theoretical aspect of blue team. It was a mile-wide and inch-deep quality of knowledge I gained after passing it. Luckily, I stumbled upon one of 's stream, where he was talking about the BTL1, how it is basically the "OSCP for blue team". A certification with a practical 24-hour incident response exam. I was convinced.
