About this listen

In today's episode of the Bare Metal Cyber podcast, we dive deep into an often-overlooked crisis in cybersecurity: analyst burnout in the Security Operations Center. We'll examine why SOC analysts are increasingly overwhelmed by endless alerts, high-stakes decision-making, and relentless workloads—and why relying solely on automation as a cure can sometimes lead to unintended consequences.

Then, we'll explore practical strategies for finding the right balance between automated tools and human analysts, emphasizing the critical role of workplace culture, professional development, and mental wellness. Join us as we discuss how organizations can build truly resilient SOCs that combine technology and human insight effectively.
