SOC ISSUE
We wanted this issue to be a celebration of the Active SOC Team at Black Hills Information Security! This issue is written by members of the BHIS SOC, and offers a look into what it takes to work as a SOC team member.
Printed copies were paired with a poster and three consultant cards featuring characters from “Bear vs Bear” - a REKCAH Comics original. Subscribe for your own free printed copy of future zines!
For more behind-the-zines facts, fully transcribed (and sometimes extended) articles, clickable links, and more, just keep scrolling to find the online version of the articles.
Behind-the-zines
Life doesn’t always go according to plan. We do our best to set fair deadlines and respect reasonable working hours… but due to an unfortunate series of uncontrollable life events, the team was left with just 2 weeks to get the zine from plain-text articles to designed and ready-for-print if we wanted this issue to be ready to share at the 2022 Wild West Hackin’ Fest. So our designer squeezed more than a month of hours into those two weeks, and the whole team learned a lot about how to streamline the process of production… but the biggest lesson? Don’t do that again!
