Security operations centres have added tools faster than people. The result is a backlog nobody admits to. High-performing teams share a trait: ruthless tuning. They disable noisy detections, measure time-to-triage and treat false positives as bugs.
Automation that actually helps
The wins are boring: enrichment, deduplication and auto-closing known-benign patterns. Teams that tried to automate decision-making ran into trust problems. The analysts still decide; the machines just prepare the file.
Key takeaways
- Noisy detections are disabled, not tolerated
- False positives are tracked like defects
- Automation enriches rather than decides
