Hello everyone,

I hope I’m not bothering anyone with my question.

I need to decide between the HTB SOC Analyst Path and TryHackMe SOC 1 & 2.

I have 3 years of experience in Incident Response, some certifications like BLT1, GCIH etc along with some offensive skills and certifications like OSCP etc.

My main concern isn’t cost—it’s about quality and hands-on practice.

I’m not looking to start from the basics (like learning what SIEM, IDS, IPS, etc., are). I just want practical, hands-on training.

For context, I haven’t worked in a SOC/CSIRT environment for over a year, so I’m a bit rusty and need to brush up on my skills before starting interviews.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Here are some platforms I’m considering:
