Most recently I have been exploring the use of data fabrics in Snowflake as a complement to SIEMs.  This has been very involved and included me moving into the modern era and coding with Python and the use of Git and GitHub.  Being used to strongly typed coding, it was very strange at first to let Python do what it does but wow it is nice and it is easy to transition to if you already have a coding background.
