Blue Teamers are the first (and sometimes last) line of defense in the ongoing cyber war. This place is to chat out detection strategies, complain about SIEMs, compare SOAR playbooks, or post mean memes about the Red Team.

Hi all! Couple of decades in IT, from helpdesk up to both Senior Consultant as well as IT Director. I really enjoy both the technical aspects of the job as well as developing junior employees and have wandered back and forth between both types of roles.
I read once a long time ago (Might have been one of Tay's threads?) that operational excellence was 90% of security, and really took that to heart. My clients and employers have generally been SMBs, so real security wins have often been stuff like "Hey what if the computers had passwords on them?" or "We're no longer keeping everyone's passwords in a big Excel sheet", but over time those have added to to some decent defense. I'm always looking to grow beyond the basics, and hope that this community can be part of that journey!
