AI-Powered Attacks Exacerbate Alert Fatigue in Cybersecurity Teams

Cybersecurity teams are drowning in data, but struggling to turn it into action - and AI-powered attacks are making alert fatigue worse. With AI-powered attacks topping the list of concerns for 41% of cybersecurity leaders, it's clear that teams need a new approach to stay ahead.

SIEM Helps MSPs Filter Out Noise, Accelerate Threat Detection

MSPs are drowning in a sea of security alerts, but the real challenge is cutting through the noise to identify genuine threats. When endpoint, identity, cloud, and network sensors operate in isolation, duplicate alerts and blind spots create an incomplete picture, making it tough to prioritize and respond to potential threats.

AI Overload: SOCs Struggle to Keep Pace with Alert Backlog

The harsh reality is that security operations centers (SOCs) are drowning in a sea of alerts, with a typical workload of 120-150 alerts per day, which translates to 40-50 analyst-hours of work - far exceeding the capacity of most teams. This means many alerts are left uninvestigated or pushed to the next shift, leaving SOCs…

Alert fatigue leads to missed signals. Correlation, prioritization, and automated triage are essential to reduce noise and protect analyst focus.

SOC alert fatigue continues to grow.
Ambuj Kumar, CEO and Co-Founder of Simbian, explains:
“Alert fatigue is a very real problem. Most enterprise SOC teams routinely don’t have time to review 40% or more of the security alerts that they receive.”

AI-driven automation may help reduce investigation workload.

Security teams are drowning in alerts, and AI might not be the answer everyone thinks it is.

In this episode, Erik Bloch, VP of Security at Illumio, breaks down the math on why AI-powered alert triage may be financially unfeasible for most organizations. With 85 to 90 percent of alerts being non-malicious, security teams are still sorting through massive volumes of noise to find the real threats.

Many vendors are betting that AI will solve this problem by triaging alerts at scale. But the reality?

Processing a thousand alerts per day over the course of a year can cost millions of dollars in compute time for LLMs. For most companies outside of Google or major financial institutions, that budget simply doesn't exist.

Erik's take is different: push the problem back to the vendors.

The tools generating 80 to 90 percent garbage alerts are the ones organizations pay millions of dollars per year for. Rather than adding another expensive layer on top to filter the noise, vendors should be delivering higher fidelity alerts from the start.

As a defender, the goal is finding high fidelity alerts that can be actioned. If vendors filtered better on their end, security teams could focus on catching bad guys instead of triaging false positives.

It's inevitable. As time goes on and needs evolve, you might have to break up with your open-source #SIEM. 😭 We know. It's hard to say "goodbye" to 🆓. 👋 But, as your org grows, it incorporates more business-enabling technologies which lead to new #security risk management tools. This means more logs, impacting performance during high-traffic hours and disrupting the open-source SIEM’s ability to ingest logs. 😱 You need more power.

Is it time for you to upgrade? These 5 signs can help you figure it out:
⬆️ Is your tech stack growing?
📈 Are you scaling your business operations?
↔️ Do you have an expanding attack surface?
😩 Are you experiencing increased alert fatigue?
☑️ Do you have increased compliance needs?
