Svantaggi
It seemed for the longest time that the hard work of Security Operations Center Analysts were not recognized and appreciated. A lot of this has recently been changing quite a bit and these things seem to be improving dramatically. One issue that persists seems to be that the general viewpoints of Managers and analysts alike, within the different SOCs do not always seem to align, whether these are related to specific technical aspects of the job or personal philosophies.
