Alert Fatigue and SOC Limitations
John Anthony Smith discusses alert fatigue, short dwell times, and why many in-house SOCs lack people, process, and policy.

Northern Ireland schools go offline after a breach. An alleged hacker-for-hire faces U.S. charges. And German police name the suspected REvil mastermind. Our guest is John Anthony Smith, Founder and Chief Security Officer at Fenix24, explaining why more technology hasn't made us more secure. A frustrated researcher drops the hammer.
