5 Steps to break free from alert fatigue and build resilient security operations
2. Prioritize outcomes over ticket volume : Stop focusing on how many alerts are cleared. This may be a metric for a better understanding of where automation or headcount are necessary but prioritize outcomes. Instead, the right questions are: How quickly did you contain a threat? Did we disrupt business operations or keep recovery swift and effective? A practical, outcome-driven SOC measures: Dwell time: How long before a threat was neutralized? Mean Time to Contain: How quickly…
