5 Ways Analysts Can Simplify SecOps

Let’s face it: Security should be simple. But more often than not, SecOps is disconnected and needlessly complex, involving a patchwork of security tools that are meant to solve only one or two problems. Eventually, analysts end up doing swivel-chair security, constantly toggling between multiple consoles in an attempt to get the job done.

Incidents based on narrowly defined detections can also lead to a high volume of alerts, quickly overwhelming anyone on the frontlines of a security operations center (SOC). As a result, threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) becomes much slower and prone to error, creating gaps in the organization’s defenses that attackers can easily exploit.
