The security operations center (SOC) is constantly
overwhelmed. Analysts are drowning in security alerts, with
far too many threats to investigate and resolve. Security
operations work is rife with these types of monotonous, routine
and repetitive tasks — especially at the tier-1 analyst level.
To make matters worse, there’s a significant shortage of
cybersecurity professionals, making it that much harder
to respond to the thousands of alerts that come in daily.
Combined, all of these factors result in painfully slow threat
detection and response — not great for the business, or for
keeping users and assets safe
