Black Hills Information Security show

Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Many people get started in security as a Security Operations Center (SOC) analyst. In this Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) webcast we discuss the core skills that a SOC analyst needs in order to be successful. <br> <br> <br> <br> Trust us, these skills are more than just watching the SIEM and letting the SOAR platform handle everything through a AI powered single pane of glass. <br> <br> <br> <br> Security has been and will continue to be, hard. This webcast will help people who are getting started be more successful and hopefully happier in their jobs. <br> <br> <br> <br> I mean, we can’t make people happy. But, being good at one’s job is a good step in that direction. The rest is on you. <br> <br> <br> <br> We also cover some techniques that can be used to help stop SOC burnout. Because that is a real thing….. It is a real thing that many SOC analysts go through. When they do, they often entertain dreams of getting out of security and buying a food truck. <br> <br> <br> <br> Let’s help stop that. The world does not need another mediocre falafel truck powered by the crushed hopes and dreams of another infosec burnout.<br> <br> <br> <br> Slides for this webcast can be found here: <a href="https://www.blackhillsinfosec.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SLIDES_TheSOCAge.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.blackhillsinfosec.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SLIDES_TheSOCAge.pdf</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Join the BHIS Discord Community — <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscord.gg%2FaHHh3u5&amp;event=video_description&amp;v=Lhol4rZo_ts&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXlod254VGRQbWNnR1NrQ1pINnNUbzBCZGFFUXxBQ3Jtc0tsdnAySGlER3F3UkRxNGFDMVZUT05OcndwajI5bUJHY2lSLWMwWkh3dmpidU14Z2RHRldNU3JhWklTMVB6M0dDaG9uS19ZTTllcTdGWE1tTUJXRkRMQVhKSHJVdXpTNmNIX1RsbzJWRzdIdTI4d1l6NA%3D%3D" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/aHHh3u5</a><br> <br> <br> <br> “Pay What You Can” SOC Core Skills 16-Hour Training Course: <a href="https://wildwesthackinfest.com/online-training/soc-core-skills-john-strand/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://wildwesthackinfest.com/online-training/soc-core-skills-john-strand/</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhol4rZo_ts&amp;t=0s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">0:00:00</a> – PreShow Banter™ – A Weird Flex <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhol4rZo_ts&amp;t=744s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">0:12:24</a> – FEATURE PRESENTATION: SOC Analyst Key Skills <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhol4rZo_ts&amp;t=1013s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">0:16:53</a> – Server Analysis <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhol4rZo_ts&amp;t=1213s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">0:20:13</a> – There’s A Guide For That <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhol4rZo_ts&amp;t=1614s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">0:26:54</a> – Memory Forensics <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhol4rZo_ts&amp;t=2056s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">0:34:16</a> – Egress Traffic Analysis <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhol4rZo_ts&amp;t=2619s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">0:43:39</a> – Logs Are Better Than Bad, They’re a Train Wreck <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhol4rZo_ts&amp;t=2920s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">0:48:40</a> – “False Positives”<br> <br> <br> <br>
