Spent the last 3 days completing 6 free introductory courses from Security Team Blue, earning the Blue Team Junior Analyst certificate:
Here are the details about courses, in the order I completed them:

Introduction to Network Analysis
Network Analysis course will introduce you to networking, what services are, and how to use two epic tools; Wireshark, and TCPDump, to capture live traffic and analyse packet captures to identify network activity, including suspicious or malicious traffic.
Introduction to Threat Hunting
This specialised purple-team role focuses on detecting advanced threats that are already within the network, and have so far remained undetected. Using both manual and automated techniques, Threat Hunters search for malicious artefacts over the network and on systems. This role is highly technical and is ever-changing, as adversaries change their tactics, hunters must develop new tools and methods for discovering signs of threats that traditional security controls haven’t detected yet.
Here’s a bonus course that I completed, not a part of pathway bundle:
Mental Health in Cybersecurity
Looking after your mental health is extremely important, especially in an ever-changing industry such as cybersecurity. This course will help to learn about the different types of conditions, how to spot the signs, and guidance on how to support yourself and others.
