Useful certifications for SOC people


According to me, the most important certifications useful for a SOC analysts are the vendor specific.
But of course there are other certifications that could be useful in a SOC environment. This is a short list (prices, when available, included).

 This first group of certifications is more useful for analysts and technical people.

CGIH (Certified GIAC Incident Handler). Course and certifications: Corso + Esame 3500$
OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional). Course + exam 4000$
ISECOM OPST (Open Source Security tester). I could not find any info regarding the price.
ISECOM OPSA (Open Source Security Analyst). I could not find any info regarding the price.

Less-technical (but still useful!) certifications

This second group of certifications is more useful for analyst coordinators or SOC managers.
