We talk quite candidly about their approach to Managed SOC, Technical skills within the industry, what people are doing wrong, or right, how Sandra Bullock was her guiding light and the fact she might be overpaying for her haircuts.. 

*Sandra Bullock appears in the podcast by name only, any suggestions she is a guest is purely deception on my part.

We talk to Jason Steer, CISO at Threat Intelligence company Recorded Future about where Threat Intel has evolved over time from "just" a list of Hashes or IOC's, where it sits within a Security Platform, the importance of being able to curate and understand billions of information entities and what that could mean for a modern day SOC

Also, another great "For SOC's sake" at the end here...

Enjoy!

SOCTales is delighted to welcome Stuart Wright,  Global Head of GRC at Nettitude, onto the Podcast to discuss where GRC comes into play for business, where to focus your time, what it means (and what it doesn't) and tries to answer me very loaded and tongue in cheek question, Can we make GRC Sexy?

Stuart also touches on Neurodiversity not only within his own experiences, but also that of something within the IT Industry both as an employee and a hiring manager. 

In addition, For SOC's Sake at the end I think is something we can all agree with!

Note - There are a couple of F-Bombs dropped in this episode, so be careful around the kids. 

In this Episode we chat with Chris Humphries, Adversarial Engineer on TeamARES at CyberOne Security based in the US. We talk about his background in Applications before the move into Cyber Security, passing the OSCP, setting up and delivering training at Blackhat and more. 

In this Episode we talk with Dave Kennedy, a 14yr Veteran of the Royal Navy and now Cyber and Information Security Consultant with tmc3. The chat focuses not only on the SatCom and IT work he performed while aboard a £3bn Vanguard Class Submarine  ("Are you telling me this sucker is Nuclear? - Marty McFly, 1985") but also the help and support received when he decided to join Civilian life. Dave is also  a Founder and Lead Advisor for Cybervets, a group that aims to assist and support those leaving the Armed Forces and move into a career within Cyber Security.
