Stories From the SOC by North Star Cyber Group - The Alert That Cried Wolf

A SOC analyst ignores an alert they’ve seen a hundred times before, except this time it wasn’t a false positive. In today’s episode of Stories From the SOC, Randy breaks down a real-world example of alert fatigue, how detection noise blinds even the best teams, and why tuning and automation are leadership responsibilities, not just technical ones. You’ll learn: * How “noisy” alerts create blind spots * Why attackers intentionally blend into known false positives * The moment a SOC realized they missed the initial intrusion * What leaders must do to reduce alert fatigue * How smarter tuning improves both morale and security outcomes If your SOC or security program struggles with too many alerts, this episode will hit home.

Stories from the SOC by North Star Cyber Group – The Fax That Fooled Finance

A single fax led to a six-figure loss. In this episode of Stories from the SOC, Randy Breault unpacks a real-world Business Email Compromise that didn’t even start with email. A finance employee receives what appears to be a legitimate vendor banking update, the logo, the signature, and the domain all perfect. Except that “w” in the email address wasn’t a “w.” It was two v’s. This story reveals how attackers exploit human trust and small process gaps to bypass even good security programs. You’ll learn: * How a simple domain trick triggered a major wire fraud * Why layered controls beat technical controls alone * And what every organization should change today to prevent the same mistake Learn more or schedule a discovery call at northstarcybergroup.com [https://northstarcybergroup.com] Subscribe, rate, and share to help more cybersecurity leaders hear stories that drive real change.
