State of the SOC – Mark Boltz-Robinson – PSW #734
Mark is currently involved in building a security operations center for a large organization with an established infrastructure and teams already in place. In this chat, we'll explore the state of the SOC today, the challenges of building one, the reality versus expectations roles, what is SOAR'ing and not, and more. Tangential paths will likely be followed, as information security is fun to talk about in general!
