Hi, I’m John Meyer.
I'm the Security Operations Center (SOC) Manager at Helmsman Information Security.
I've been working with NSM systems for many years now and I want to put the power back into the hands of analysts and SOC managers.
By teaching the fundamentals, techniques, and tools surrounding NSM we can foster a culture of active learning and improvement. Are you ready to start your NSM journey?
