CHallenge
SOC teams are hard-pressed to protect the organization due to significant challenges of alert fatigue, staff shortages, and ineffective tooling.
These short-staffed teams face a continual deluge of alerts driving alert fatigue and leading teams to either tune their security information and event manager (SIEM) to squelch alerts or waste all their limited time chasing false positives.
The former approach lets adversaries fly under the radar, and the latter emboldens adversaries as analysts are too distracted to detect and respond in time to stop the threat. Plus, even when the SIEM sees an adversary, SOC tools typically lack the visibility of the threat landscape to analyze, let alone eliminate adversarial capabilities successfully.
Solution
The cyber skills shortage is not going away, so SOC teams must optimize their limited resources by pivoting from a reactive alert-led to a proactive intelligence-led operation. This shift hinges on the SOC operationalizing threat intelligence to better hunt and detect the most significant threats and avoid or eliminate them.
Operationalizing threat intelligence boosts SIEM effectiveness and saves hours of SOC analyst time by closely aligning with a threat intelligence management solution to better qualify alerts and reduce false positives. Central to this intelligence-led approach is SOC analysts focusing on tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). This pivot to TTPs empowers analysts to be more efficient and effective, moving from the most obvious threats to hunting and catching the most elusive threats, including advanced persistent threats (APTs).
