In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, rapid response to security incidents is paramount. Every second counts when it comes to identifying and mitigating potential threats to safeguard sensitive data and maintain the integrity of business operations. At SafeNet, we understand the critical importance of incident triage and have integrated cutting-edge solutions like Wazuh into our arsenal to enhance our capabilities.
The Challenge of Incident Triage
The sheer volume of security alerts generated by various systems and applications can overwhelm security teams, making it challenging to discern genuine threats from false positives. Manual analysis of each alert is not only time-consuming but also prone to human error, leaving organizations vulnerable to undetected breaches.
