Security analysts work in dedicated security operations centers (SOCs) as part of a team to prevent, detect, assess, and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents. The average SOC receives 10,000 alerts each day from layers of monitoring and detection products. With such an overwhelming barrage of alerts, it is almost inevitable that an analyst will eventually miss or ignore an alert, or fail to identify a high priority alert due to “alert fatigue” or incorrect prioritization. When an incident needs lengthy analysis, the security analyst may not be given the time to conduct a full analysis and reports inaccurate or incomplete information.”]
