Episode 28 — Spaced Review: prioritize, collect, and enrich data sources without blind spots
This episode consolidates the data-source decision chain that GSOM expects you to apply quickly: start from mission and risk, define use cases, identify required evidence, then implement collection and enrichment that makes the evidence usable at speed. You will revisit what makes telemetry high value, why operations context changes priority, and how frameworks help you spot coverage gaps that matter for real investigations rather than theoretical completeness. We will reinforce pipeline reliability and integrity as exam-relevant themes, including time sync, retention consistency, parser stability, and monitoring of ingestion health so you can trust what the SOC sees during an incident. Short scenario cues will help you practice choosing the best next step when data is missing, context is stale, or a new environment is being onboarded, emphasizing defensible tradeoffs that preserve investigative capability while keeping collection sustainable.
