Episode 55 — Building Dashboards and Triage Routines

Dashboards transform raw data into visual understanding, and this episode explains how to design them for clarity and purpose. You’ll learn how to select metrics, define thresholds, and organize views by function—whether for SOC analysts, managers, or auditors. We discuss why dashboards should focus on signal, not noise, and how color coding, trend lines, and time windows support rapid situational awareness. The episode also connects these visualization principles to exam objectives around communication and performance measurement.Listeners will then explore triage routines—the structured steps analysts follow when an alert fires. We outline how to validate the alert, gather context, and escalate when necessary, along with common pitfalls like tunnel vision or confirmation bias. Real-world examples show how well-built dashboards feed efficient triage by presenting relevant data in a single view. By mastering these workflows, you’ll understand how visibility, prioritization, and process discipline turn monitoring into measurable defense.
