"71 Percent of Organizations May Have Been Breached and Not Know About It"
Vectra AI has released a new research report revealing that 97 percent of analysts are concerned about missing security events. Seventy-one percent acknowledge that their organization may have been compromised, but they are unaware of it. Analysts are overwhelmed as they receive an average of 4,484 alerts per day but cannot handle 67 percent of them. Sixty-seven percent of SecOps analysts are considering or actively quitting their positions as a result. The survey of more than 2,000 Information Technology (IT) security analysts showed that the size of their organization's attack surface (63 percent), as well as the number of security tools (70 percent) and alerts (66 percent) they handle, have increased significantly over the past three years, thus overwhelming their ability to quickly respond to alerts and manage breaches. This article continues to discuss key findings regarding the current state of threat detection in 2023.
