Why Alert Fatigue Is the Real SOC Problem — And Why It's Actually a Business Problem
Alert fatigue isn't a SOC inconvenience. It's an enterprise risk.
When security leaders talk about alert fatigue, the conversation usually stays inside the SOC: analysts burning out, dashboards full of red, MTTR creeping up quarter over quarter. That framing isn't wrong — it's just too small.
At the enterprise level — in financial services, pharma, semiconductor, and large-scale manufacturing — alert fatigue isn't an operational nuisance. It's a business risk that shows up on the balance sheet, in audit findings, and in board-level conversations about resilience.
