THE CHALLENGE
Organisations operating Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) technology are being overwhelmed with alerts, which need to be prioritised, analysed and acted upon.
Security analysts are prone to alert fatigue which leads to mistakes and real alerts being missed. The round-the-clock threat of cyber-attacks is leaving organisations facing a high-cost solution, covering unsocial hours, with a potentially diminishing value in return.
If cyber security is not already challenging enough, the high attrition rate of security analysts, added to the scarcity of skills, makes it difficult to accumulate an experienced, efficient, and resilient analyst team.
But help is at hand. Security orchestration, when deployed correctly, substantially improves Security Operation Centre (SOC) precision and performance as well as reducing analyst burn out.
