## Resource

Shante Perrin on SOC Leadership, Communicating Risk, and Curiosity-Driven Career Growth Thomas chats with cybersecurity leader Shante Perrin, who progressed from web developer and help desk roles to SOC leadership and Director of Global Security Operations. Shante describes SOC and MSSP work focused on preventing repeat incidents through policies, procedures, customer advisement, and deploying new services and tools that improve analyst efficiency and investigation quality. They discuss the challenge of convincing customers to prioritize security before a breach, emphasizing tailored communication, active listening, documenting risk, and framing guidance around business impact and reputation. Shante highlights interview and hiring themes such as curiosity, understanding why tools are used (not just clicking), teamwork, and cultural fit, plus using brown-bag sessions to share investigative thinking. Career advice centers on taking leaps into unfamiliar work, seeking support, and accountability. Shante recommends David Goggins’ book "Can’t Hurt Me" and mentions journaling and self-care for sustainable performance. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 01:09 Shante's Security Ops Role 02:58 Convincing Customers to Act 04:50 Communication in the SOC 07:04 Incident Calls and Risk 09:39 Security as Business Partner 14:24 Career Growth Through Curiosity 20:01 Interviewing Beyond Tools 21:51 Curiosity Stands Out 22:45 Hiring For Likability 24:56 Humor Under Pressure 25:49 Help Desk Foundations 28:54 Learning Styles That Stick 29:56 Audio Diet And Mindset 31:38 Confidence And Speaking Up 34:16 Setbacks And Self Care 36:30 Book Pick David Goggins 38:28 Journaling And Control 39:38 Sustainable Work Rhythms 41:20 Final Thanks And Wrap
