Episode 21 — Spaced Review: cement SOC tooling choices, integrations, and secure implementation habits
This episode reinforces how GSOM expects you to think about SOC technology decisions as operational systems that must stay reliable, secure, and supportable over time,...
Episode 22 — Data Source Assessment and Collection: decide what to collect and prioritize
This episode teaches how to assess and prioritize data sources so your SOC collects the minimum set that enables strong detection and investigation outcomes, which is ...
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 or...
Episode 24 — Turn organizational use cases into specific data source requirements fast
This episode explains how to translate security use cases into concrete data requirements, which is a high-yield GSOM skill because the exam often tests whether you ca...
Episode 25 — Leverage industry frameworks to prioritize collection, enrichment, and coverage gaps
This episode teaches how to use industry frameworks as a prioritization accelerator rather than a compliance checkbox, because GSOM expects you to justify collection c...
Episode 26 — Orchestrate secure and efficient data collection pipelines across diverse systems
This episode explains how to design data collection pipelines that are both reliable and secure, a frequent GSOM theme because weak pipelines create blind spots, integ...
Episode 27 — Enrich collected data with context so monitoring becomes decisively faster
This episode focuses on enrichment as the difference between “an event happened” and “an analyst can act,” which GSOM tests because strong triage depends on context th...
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 evide...
Episode 29 — Managing Alert Creation and Processing: build alerts people can act on
This episode introduces alert management as an operational discipline that GSOM frequently tests, because alerting is where detection theory meets real workload, and p...
Episode 30 — Create actionable alerts from use cases and observable attacker behaviors
This episode teaches the workflow for turning a detection use case into an alert that reliably drives the right action, which is a high-value GSOM skill because the ex...
Episode 31 — Prioritize alerts using severity, confidence, and business impact tradeoffs
This episode explains how GSOM expects you to prioritize alerts as a disciplined triage system, not as a gut-feel reaction to whichever notification is loudest. You wi...
Episode 32 — Classify alerts consistently to speed triage, routing, and investigation handoffs
This episode teaches alert classification as a standard language that keeps SOC operations fast and defensible, which GSOM tests because inconsistency creates delays, ...
Episode 33 — Implement best practices for timely, manageable, and sustainable alert response
This episode focuses on building an alert response engine that can run every day without burning out the team, a key GSOM expectation because response sustainability d...
Episode 34 — Tune noisy detections using feedback loops that shrink backlogs over time
This episode teaches detection tuning as an iterative feedback loop that improves signal quality while preserving coverage, which GSOM tests because “turn it off” is r...
Episode 35 — Spaced Review: build, prioritize, classify, respond, and tune alerts confidently
This episode is a high-speed consolidation of alert lifecycle skills that show up repeatedly in GSOM questions, designed to help you recognize what decision the exam i...
Episode 36 — Preparing for Incident Response: readiness steps that prevent chaos later
This episode introduces incident response readiness as deliberate preparation that keeps you from improvising under pressure, and GSOM frequently tests these fundament...
Episode 37 — Master the incident response cycle and where SOC operations plug in
This episode teaches the incident response cycle as an end-to-end workflow that the SOC supports at every stage, which GSOM tests by asking where specific actions belo...
Episode 38 — Prepare investigation foundations: evidence handling, tooling access, and documentation
This episode focuses on the investigation foundations that make your conclusions defensible, because GSOM often tests whether you preserve evidence, maintain integrity...
Episode 39 — Build communication paths and decision points before the first incident hits
This episode teaches communication and decision design as part of incident response readiness, because GSOM expects you to prevent “communication incidents” that slow ...
Episode 40 — Spaced Review: remember IR preparation, phases, and SOC coordination essentials
This episode consolidates incident response preparation and coordination concepts that GSOM revisits in multiple domains, helping you recognize the most defensible nex...
