Episode 2 — Map the 21 Supporting Tasks Into Your Everyday SOC Workflow (Task 4)
This episode shows you how to take the supporting tasks tested by the exam and map them to a realistic SOC workflow so you can study by anchoring concepts to actions you already perform. You will learn to organize work into phases such as intake, triage, investigation, containment coordination, recovery support, and lessons learned, then identify where tasks like risk framing, evidence handling, detection tuning, and stakeholder communication naturally belong. We will explain why the exam rewards integrated thinking, where technical signals must connect to business impact, and why “best answer” often means “most complete process step” rather than the most technical detail. You will practice turning vague requirements into concrete questions you can ask during an incident, and you will hear examples of how a single alert can touch multiple tasks when you document decisions and maintain audit-ready evidence.
