Description:

A.N. Ananth of Netsurion joins us to talk about the future of SOCs. Security operations centers used to look more like bunkers crowded with network traffic analysts who rarely got to see the sun. Ananth sees the Covid-induced era of remote SOCs to be a new reality but also a way to bring new professionals in from small towns are far-away locations, making it a partial fix to the security skills gap.
