Manage episode 400536685 series 3201233
In this episode, Jeff and Jim discuss the role of a Security Operations Center (SOC) in identity security. They are joined by Steve Kane and Todd Willoughby from RSM's Managed Security Practice. The conversation covers topics such as early adopters, the evolution of threats, the importance of identity in SOC, and the decision to build your own SOC or outsource. They also explore the anatomy of a breach and the actions taken by SOC to prevent and mitigate attacks. In this conversation, Todd and Steve discuss the tactics and techniques used by threat actors to avoid detection, the challenges faced by SOC analysts, and the importance of passion in cybersecurity. They also explore what happens when security measures break down and provide advice for aspiring SOC analysts. The conversation concludes with a lighthearted discussion about predictions for the Super Bowl.
