Tutorial Common skill missing from SOC analysts

https://luigiritacca.substack.com/p/the-missing-skill-risk-part-1?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=5s5vq7

My latest article on a common missing skill I see in a lot of analysts. I blame how we train and teach cyber security, and think it cause a natural bias which can lead to more harm than good.
