What does a day in the life of a senior cybersecurity analyst look like?
Every hour, I'm looking at news feeds and reading policies. Sometimes I'm in meetings, generating artifacts or documents, or working on my day-to-day tasks.
I try to keep a task list going of what I need to accomplish that day and that week. I also track other milestones I'm working towards.
