Network Security Essentials for SOC Analysts | TryHackMe | SOC Level 1 2025
In this walkthrough of the TryHackMe – Network Security Essentials room, we explore the foundational concepts of network security and how defenders monitor, protect, and investigate activity at the network perimeter.
According to the room outline, this module covers network fundamentals, visibility, perimeter defenses, and hands‑on log analysis using firewall, IDS, and VPN logs.
The included scenario tasks you with reviewing one month of perimeter logs to identify adversary techniques and determine whether a breach occurred — using firewall, WAF/IDS, and VPN authentication logs.
🔍 What you’ll learn:
• How networks function and how defenders gain visibility into traffic
• What the network perimeter is and why it matters
• How firewalls, IDS, and VPN systems generate security logs
• How to monitor and protect network perimeters
• How to investigate suspicious activity using perimeter logs
• How SOC analysts detect and analyze breaches at the network edge
