Episode 23 — Use business operations knowledge to select telemetry that matters most
This episode shows how to use business operations context to choose telemetry that actually helps, because GSOM rewards decisions that align monitoring with how the organization runs rather than how a tool vendor describes the world. You will learn to start with business-critical services, key workflows, and peak operational periods, then map them to the assets, identities, and data flows that would create the most damage if abused. We will connect this approach to exam relevance by demonstrating how operational knowledge changes severity and escalation, such as why authentication anomalies for privileged finance users may outrank generic malware hits on a lab workstation. You will also work through scenarios where an organization has multiple environments and uneven logging, and you must decide what to instrument first to enable incident confirmation, containment validation, and recovery decisions without interrupting core business processes.
