Blue team certifications?

UnixGuy

Does anyone have any experience with https://securityblue.team/ ?

I've been asked about Blue Team level 1 certifications and heard people speak highly of them, I just want to know if anyone here done them?

I love the syllabus and the fact that they're lab based, seem to be a cheaper alternative to SANS

I looked into these certs several years ago and they seemed to be a vehicle for selling training. I've not seen anything said much about them.

I've heard good things about them through youtube, keen to know more. The content seem really good

Their certs seem to be gaining traction and popularity. I have seen some job requirements "suggest" this cert as a recommendation to fufill some skill level. As mentioned it is also gaining traction amongst the twitter security realm. 

Still not a dirt cheap pathway, but a hell of a lot cheaper than SANS. 

Good luck and wish you the best on your journey.

A few years ago, the trend was focused on offensive security, as this market mature, there is now a focus on defensive/Blue Team security.  They are looking as one of the solid contender.

Yup even the company "offensive security" is providing blue team focused courses/certs. 

Cloud Security: CLD-101
Security Operations for Beginners: SOC-100
Security Operations and Defensive Analysis: SOC-200

Good points. I like eLearnsecurity and I think they have solid certs, they have a DFIR cert, was wondering if there is a good blue teaming / SOC certs that are handson and not as expensive as SANS
