Excited to begin this blog series: So you want to be a SOC Analyst?

This post is just the intro to the series, but it outlines what I plan to roll out over the next few weeks as a resource for anyone that wants to take a fast path to gaining real-world skills needed by an entry-level SOC analyst.

Did you think I forgot? Nope. Day 3 of the 28-Day #GetHiredChallenge went live earlier this morning. In this video we're asking the question "Is a Lack of Diversity a Security Risk?". Check it out!!

Fun, weird, infosec-sailing crossover facts that combine my work with my play:

The term 'log' as we use it to refer to a record of events, is actually a nautical term. Back in the day, boat speed was measured by throwing a piece of log over the front of the ship and measuring the time it took for the boat to cruise past the log. The time it took to pass the log was recorded in a 'log book', which gave an account of the relative speed of the vessel over time, and would help with navigation.

The method was improved with time, but for a few centuries this was the standard way of doing things, and is why we use a quite strange word to record the timestamps for authentication attempts, crashes, and other system events today.
