Personally, I think the root of the issue lies not in the sheer volume of security alerts, but in how they're structured and prioritized across enterprise security operations teams. The most dangerous alerts—those that don't align with current SOC workflows—are often overlooked because no one has the expertise or tools to investigate them. A recent report from The Hacker News (https://thehackernews.com/expert-insights/2026/02/the-riskiest-alert-types-and-why.html) reveals that high-risk alert categories such as WAF, DLP, OT/IoT, dark web intelligence, and supply chain signals consistently go uninvestigated across SOCs. These alerts require specialized knowledge that most teams lack, leaving them trapped between automation and human oversight. While AI SOC platforms have improved triage logic, they still rely on pre-built systems, which limit their ability to handle novel or emerging threats. Instead of focusing on reducing alerts, organizations should prioritize addressing the structural gaps in how alerts are categorized, prioritized, and addressed. The webinar hosted by Radiant Security and Cirosec will delve deeper into these challenges and explore solutions that can help bridge the gap. With a focus on real-world examples and actionable insights, this session aims to provide a comprehensive view of how organizations can build more effective security ecosystems.
