And Cisco Cyber Security?
He was most likely referring to the CCNA-CCNP-CCIE path. CCNA is pretty much considered industry standard for networking fundamentals, and while it is certainly possible to do without it, having it shows a level of competency in the field that can enable you to get a foot in the door.
If you think you might be interested in network security or networking and don’t have money try the free courses here.

What is your degree program? Or, what is your career path?
In general, when people say “Cisco” certs, they almost always mean CCNA, which is the associate level Cisco certification, and gives foundational network knowledge that is highly valuable and transferable to other IT and cyber fields.
Cisco CBROPS probably won’t get you in the door at a SOC without other work experience or certifications, unless the place is super aggressive about churning through SOC I analysts.

Agreed on it being the CCNA. That is the definitive intro to cisco networking courses, especially in undergrad
