Security products produce a lot of alerts. When looked at in isolation, there’s a higher chance of these alerts being false positives as you don’t have the full picture of what’s going on. In addition, if you don’t have a 24/7 security operations centre (SOC) analysing each alert, it can be difficult to know whether your organisation has been breached. This uncertainty, coupled with the constant stream of alerts, can lead to many IT professionals feeling overwhelmed and desensitised.

This is called alert fatigue and it’s becoming increasingly common and could lead to burnout amongst your IT and security teams. When a large percentage of alerts are being ignored, you could be missing serious security alerts that cloud put your organisation at risk.

Does your team suffer from alert fatigue? If so, how do you combat it and ensure you don’t miss genuine alerts? In this video, we share how you can begin to reduce the strain on your security team and gain the visibility and control you need to determine whether you’re under attack.
