Episode 54: Single Pane of Glass: Visibility in the SOC

In complex environments, visibility is everything. But when your tools are spread across different dashboards and platforms, critical context can be lost. This episode introduces the concept of a “single pane of glass”—a unified interface that aggregates security data from across your infrastructure to support efficient detection and decision making.

We’ll talk about what makes a single-pane dashboard effective, how data normalization works behind the scenes, and how to avoid information overload. You'll also hear about the risks of over-reliance and what analysts must still do to verify and investigate findings independently. As environments grow more hybrid and toolsets more varied, this concept becomes increasingly relevant—both in real-world SOCs and on the CySA+ exam. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
