Today's security systems generate too many alerts, making it difficult for teams to identify and respond to actual threats in a timely manner. Most enterprises receive over 10,000 security alerts daily and 25% of security teams have to deal with more that 1 million alerts every single day. Analysts then spend 10 - 20 minutes investigating each incident they receive, and much of that time is spent downgrading alerts incorrectly marked as critical or misprioritized.

Eventually, approximately a third of all cybersecurity alerts are determined to be false positives, leading to a huge waste of resources to investigate problems that don’t actually exist. Alert overload can quickly cause major problems such as high staff turnover, low productivity and financial loss.
