I've just noticed the first link to alienvault. This is something the company i am applying for uses for monitoring and reporting. Do you know of any resources i could use to improve my knowledge on this?

Security Operations Center - Monitoring and Analysis of servers, databases and networks to detect any security incidents

Sorry yes, i should have been more clear. I don't like the idea of windows collecting and collating information about me. It is a matter of privacy over security

Okay, What about if i flipped it around and ran a virtual linux OS on windows? would this act in the same way, i.e what information (if any) would windows be able to extract from the VM?

Sorry if this seems trivial, i am new to all of this

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get to where you are now? what route did you take to get there? i have also updated my profile with an email if you would prefer to communicate that way

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Is there a set route that people take into cyber security? also will the CREST certification be something that i have to fund myself?
