Episode 16 — Exam Acronyms: High-Yield Audio Reference for the GIAC GSOM
This episode provides a high-yield acronym reference in context, because GSOM questions often hinge on whether you understand what a term implies operationally rather than whether you can expand the letters. You will connect common SOC acronyms to their job-task meaning, such as how SIEM relates to centralized log analytics and correlation, how EDR changes endpoint visibility and response options, and how SOAR impacts consistency, speed, and auditability of actions. We will also clarify management and process acronyms that influence decision making, including how SLAs, KPIs, and MTTR can be misused if they drive the wrong behavior. The exam-focused goal is to recognize what an acronym enables, what it requires to work well, and what risks it introduces, such as over-automation without safeguards or metrics that incentivize shallow triage.
