what would you say is the bare minimum you should have before applying for a cybersecurity job?

Specifically for a soc analyst role. Curious to know what the community feels is the bare minimum to begin applying. For experience, knowledge, credentials etc. If you have extra time or are feeling extra generous id love see what you guys think is the profile for a bare minimum candidate, an average one and a shoe-in candidate.
