Episode Notes

Hello to all our listeners out there! Marco and Sean here, and we are thrilled to bring you a special episode today. For the third consecutive year, we've been invited to host a panel for an event that's become a cornerstone for the infosec community. And guess what? We've been involved right from its inception. That's right! We are talking about the SOC Analyst Appreciation Day™, a day designed to shed light on the unsung heroes of the cybersecurity world.

Now, for those new to this, let us dive a bit deeper. The life of a SOC analyst isn't always glamorous. They often find themselves caught in the whirlwind of immense workload, sometimes feeling like the weight of the entire digital universe rests on their shoulders. Overworked and, sadly, often underappreciated, these analysts face challenges that can lead to burnout and, ultimately, a high turnover rate.

Enter Devo, the brilliant minds behind the establishment of the SOC Analyst Appreciation Day™. Their mission? To offer a hearty shoutout to these hardworking individuals and to prompt organizations globally to step up, recognizing the importance of their analysts' satisfaction and mental well-being.

If you've been following the event, you know that this year was jam-packed with on-demand content that was nothing short of enlightening. With presentations from some of the most influential thought leaders in the infosec community, topics ranged from real-life use cases to the intricacies of SOC automation and the critical importance of managing mental well-being in such high-pressure roles.

But, listeners, we have a treat for you. Today, we're going to dive deep into one of the event's highlights. We had the privilege of moderating a panel that, trust us, you won't want to miss. So, whether you're a budding SOC analyst, a seasoned pro, or just someone with a keen interest in the world of infosec, sit back, relax, and let's delve into some insightful discussions.

This panel will take a look at the ins and outs of SOC life. From the tier one analyst role to leadership positions to everything in between, the day-to-day in each type of SOC can look very different — and this panel will cover all perspectives. Moderated by Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli from ITSP Magazine
