Imagine dealing with a silent, but mentally grating barrage of security alerts every day. The security analyst’s dilemma? They either need to cast nets wide enough to identify all potential security incidents, or laser-focus on a few and risk missing an important attack.
A recent Cisco study covered in CSO found that 44 percent of security operations managers saw more than 5,000 security alerts a day. As a consequence, they can only investigate half of the alerts they receive every day, and follow up on less than half of alerts deemed legitimate. VentureBeat says the problem is far worse. Just 5 percent of alerts are investigated due to the time and complexity of completing preliminary investigations.
The CSO article recommends better filtering to reduce threat fatigue, while focusing efforts on the most important risks to a company’s industry and business. These are great suggestions. However, in a world of exploding risks, you need a dedicated team of experts on point 24/7, while deploying technology to stay ahead of the threat landscape.
This is all very cumbersome and expensive. Even the largest companies in the world may not have this level of resources. That is where a tailored, affordable managed threat detection and response or co-managed SIEM comes into play. Here’s why co-managed SIEM is better than a DIY scenario for the digital transformation era:
If you’re concerned about the rise of risks, you should be. Your information security team has great expertise and skills – but it’s probably time to extend their reach.
Empower your company with co-managed SIEM and hone in on the real crises, despite a world of noise. Get managed security service today.
