DtSR Episode 715 - Reducing The Toil of the SOC Analyst

TL;DR: David Kennedy & Larry Whiteside, Jr. join the podcast to talk about how 'alerts' are a terrible measure of work in the SOC, and what we're doing about it. We discuss the analyst experience, why it's so difficult and leads to burning our best staff out, and also David introduces his latest: NightBeacon CMD. You need to hear this. I'm starting to edit my own videos, so hopefully you like the new format. YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/aMTFaXwRl_A Have something to say? Let's hear it.
