Staying ahead in operational cyber security isn’t about ticking boxes or learning theory for theory’s sake. It’s about having training and certifications that build confidence, grow careers, and strengthen SOC teams.
That’s why recognition on G2, the world’s largest trusted peer-to-peer review site, matters. G2 badges are based on reviews that come directly from learners, SOC leaders, and organisations who use our training every day.
The Badges We’ve Earned
This quarter, Security Blue Team has been awarded three badges:
Users Love Us - awarded thanks to consistently positive reviews that reflect the real difference our training makes to analysts’ careers.
High Performer (Global) - recognition that learners worldwide rate our certifications and labs for preparing analysts with the job-ready SOC skills teams rely on.
High Performer (EMEA) - a regional highlight showing that across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, our certifications build confidence and real-world expertise.
Why These Badges Matter
When professionals are choosing training, reviews on G2 are often a starting point. Some come from individual learners describing how certifications and labs have supported their careers, while others are from SOC leaders explaining the difference our training has made to their teams.
The main themes which come through in all the reviews are:
- Certifications are practical and relevant to the SOC environment
- Hands-on labs that mirror real-world investigations
- Certifications that support careers, from first roles through to advanced analyst positions
- Pathway certifications that help SOC leaders improve team performance and readiness
A Community Effort
What makes these badges meaningful is that they come from our community. Reviews highlight real outcomes from learners sharing how a certification helped them step into a new role, to SOC leaders describing the difference training has made across their teams. This mix of experiences matters. It shows the impact our certifications can have on both individual careers and the overall readiness of SOC operations.
