Alert Fatigue: Overcoming the Silent Threat to Cyber Resilience

83%

of SOC teams struggle with alert volume

What is Alert Fatigue?

Security Operations Centres (SOCs) are the backbone of cybersecurity, but they face a growing challenge: alert fatigue. This occurs when analysts are inundated with security alerts, many of which are false positives, leading to slower response times and increased risk of missing genuine threats.

Globally, the stats are frightening, with over 83% of SOC teams struggling with alert fatigue (2) and nearly 30% of alerts never being addressed (1). The rise in ransomware, and AI enabled phishing attacks has intensified the pressure on SOCs. Plus the adoption of AI, cloud integration and hybrid working has increased the attack surface. It’s the perfect storm.

For SME’s, having an internal dedicated SOC is an expensive proposition and can strain budgets that are already struggling to plug gaps in technology and provide continuous coverage outside of business hours. This is exacerbated by the scarcity of cyber professionals – not just in the UK but globally – with SMEs competing for resource expertise fuelling soaring remuneration costs.

Their only real option is to outsource your SOC to a third-party managed security service provider (MSSP).

But what about the alert fatigue?
How are they dealing with this endemic problem?
