A SOC analyst role is equal parts fulfilling and overwhelming. On one hand, the landscape is dynamic and the work is critical to protecting organizations. On the other, the weight of continual responsibility can lead to stress, anxiety, and cybersecurity burnout. Understanding the importance of your mental health is crucial to maintaining productivity and preventing cybersecurity burnout.
Staying ahead of the cybersecurity curve can feel like running a marathon uphill, and the right SIEM is key to leveling the playing field. Smarter SIEM solutions have emerged from the cloud to address the changing demands of today’s security operations. Unlike legacy SIEMs, which were designed for on-premises deployments and have limited scalability, more innovative next-gen solutions offer cloud-native SaaS models that provide greater flexibility and scalability.
