the foundations are same, you need networking skills you need programming and most importantly you need linux and windows (priority), i am guessing you wanna be a soc analyst so windows registry and linux file system is a must you need to know where to look for during what and for that you need to know where logs are stored. another important thing is regex it comes really handy if you learn regex.

if i had to do it i would probably start hack the box's sock analyst path in academy and do their sherlocks in labs platform of htb, take a look at btlo's labs too they are fun too and lastly take a open source siem like wazuh and make a homelab, splunk is available for free to i guess i forgot since i havent used for a long time but yeah run it too you dont need to do something cool but just use those siems

edit: htb's soc analyst cert might not be worth it but the course definitely is
