Sick of Jumping Across Tools During Investigations...

Hey everyone,

I’m curious about how common it is for SOC analysts to jump across multiple tools during investigations. From my understanding, a typical investigation might require using:

• SIEM platforms for alerts and logs
• EDR tools for endpoint data
• Threat intelligence feeds for context
• Network monitoring systems for packet analysis
• Ticketing systems for documentation

This constant switching feels like it could be time-consuming and prone to errors.

If this resonates with your experience, how do you deal with it? Do you have workflows or tools that make this easier?

Also, are there gaps in your current setup that frustrate you the most?
