Since acting as the head of a new unit in my department, I’ve noticed that most of the time my job will become less technical and more on high level kind of thingy. I attend meetings, devise a training series for the analysts, writing reports (which I hate most) and yeah making presentation slides as well. But from time to time, I do miss doing analysis, looking at the logs and alerts, reconstruct back attackers activities based on our logs and many other stuff. As I seldom touch my lappy at home due to the attention required by my children especially the twin, I’ve found it’s hard sometimes for me to cope with the work load. I know that I have this so called designated assistant where I am the one who recommend his employment but recently I just decided to move him back into the SOC. I believe he needs more knowledge especially on our operations. Anyway I dun think I will recommend anyone else after this..
