The Key To Reducing SIEM Alerts and Lost Productivity

Even with firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and a wide array of security tools in place, businesses still miss attacks and suffer major breaches every day. Why? One reason is that the sheer volume of security alerts being generated places a huge processing strain on the security team and the infrastructure itself. According to a Ponemon Institute report1 , security teams at large enterprises waste more than 20,000 hours per year chasing false-positive alerts. In addition, 44% of security alerts are never investigated.2 This translates into wasted time and money along with an increased risk of falling victim to an attack.
