About SOC Analyst Appreciation Day™
SOC analysts are too often overworked and underappreciated, leading to burnout and turnover.
Devo established SOC Analyst Appreciation Day™ to pay some long-overdue kudos to SOC analysts and to encourage organizations to improve their job satisfaction and mental well-being.
The third annual SOC Analyst Appreciation Day will take place on October 18 — stay tuned for this year's agenda. In the meantime, you can re-watch all of the sessions on-demand below.

We’ve all heard about the cybersecurity skills shortage and talent gap. So, how
can we get more individuals to enter the field? In this session, cybersecurity professionals who took an “untraditional” path into cybersecurity will share their unique journeys. Cybersecurity leaders and hiring managers who actively practice diverse hiring methods will also share how they evaluate candidates who may not have “traditional” experience.
David Bittner, CyberWire host, and Kayla Williams, CISO of Devo, will co-moderate this panel. Panelists include:

The SOC is changing. Cybersecurity teams are investing in AI-driven security technologies and planning to outsource many of the Tier-1 and Tier-2 analyst responsibilities to combat talent shortages—enabling in-house teams to become much more focused on threat intelligence. In this panel, SOC professionals from MSSPs and in-house teams will come together to discuss dividing and conquering responsibilities to keep organizations secure.
Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli of ITSPmagazine will co-moderate this panel. Participants include:

El sector de la ciberseguridad lleva mucho tiempo luchando contra la escasez de personal cualificado, ya que muchos líderes de los SOC han encontrado cada vez más dificultades para encontrar y retener candidatos. Sin embargo, ¿hemos agotado realmente todas nuestras opciones? En el sector de la ciberseguridad hay espacio para ampliar el grupo de candidatos recurriendo a personas de orígenes menos convencionales y más diversos.
Esta mesa redonda explorará las habilidades, el pensamiento neurodivergente asi como las competencias "no tradicionales" que pueden dar lugar a trayectorias profesionales en ciberseguridad y cómo aprender y crecer una vez que se ha iniciado la carrera professional. Este panel será presentado y moderado por Enrique Serrano Aparicio, Director General de Hackrocks. Entre los participantes se encuentran:

The cybersecurity industry has long grappled with a skills shortage, as many SOC leaders have found it increasingly difficult to find and retain candidates. But have we exhausted all our options? There’s room in the cybersecurity industry to expand the candidate pool by tapping into individuals from less conventional and more diverse backgrounds.
This panel discussion will explore skills, neurodivergent thinking, and "untraditional" experiences that may translate well into cybersecurity career paths and how to learn and grow once you've started your career. Madeline Carr, Professor of Global Politics and Cybersecurity at University College London, will moderate this panel.
