Why do the Riskiest SOC Alerts Go Unanswered? Security operations teams are drowning in alerts. But the real problem isn't always alert volume; it's the blind spots. The most dangerous alerts are the ones no one is investigating. A recent report from The Hacker News examined why certain high-risk alert categories - WAF, DLP, OT/IoT, dark web intelligence, and supply chain signals- consistently go uninvestigated across enterprise SOCs. The findings point to a structural gap in how security coverage is delivered today: not a lack of tooling, but a ceiling built into every existing model. Your SOC Model Has a Coverage Ceiling In-house SOC teams are the first to feel the gap. Overloaded with high-volume, routine alerts, analysts rarely have the capacity, or the specialized expertise, to investigate WAF events, DLP anomalies, or signals from operational technology environments. These alert types require deep, domain-specific knowledge that most SOC teams simply don't have...

The COVID-19 outreach is turning out to be not only health, social, and economic hazard but also a cybersecurity crisis. The pandemic has presented new challenges for businesses in the areas of remote collaboration and business continuity. With increased remote working for better business continuity, employees are using numerous Internet tools. As businesses and people have started relying more on technology and are busy fighting with the pandemic, the attackers now have plenty of options to target them more than ever. According to PWC's April report, the number of security threats to the Indian company doubled in March 2020—especially what's more worrying is a 100% rise between March 17 and 20—from Jan 2020. Sanjay Dhotre, the Union Minister of State for Electronics & Information Technology (MeITY),  said  that India has seen over 350,000 cyberattacks in the second quarter, triple the number of recorded events in the first quarter of 2020. He also highlighted that the...
