Episode 65 — Exam-Day Tactics: mental models for triage and confident GSOM answers
This episode prepares you for exam-day decision making by treating each question like a mini triage event: identify what is being tested, classify the situation, choose the safest high-value next action, and avoid choices that create evidence loss or uncontrolled business disruption. You will learn mental models for quickly spotting the domain in play, such as whether the prompt is really about data quality, alert lifecycle management, incident response sequencing, or metrics-driven leadership, and how to use keywords to infer constraints like authority, timing, and visibility. We will cover practical tactics such as eliminating answers that overreach, prioritizing options that preserve investigation integrity, and selecting actions that are repeatable and measurable, which aligns with GSOM’s focus on operational maturity. This is the last episode in the provided list. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber audio courses, books, and information to strengthen your educational path.
