Security alerts from multiple cloud vendors are overwhelming IT professionals.

What happens when those notifications get out of hand? A report released Tuesday by cloud security provider Orca Security details how a flood of security alerts can easily trigger alert fatigue.

"What many overlook is the resource and time needed to build a cohesive story of an attack in progress from the alerts. Modern attacks are not based on a single act or alerts. They consist of many actions that span weeks and months. When analyzed in isolation, individual alerts may appear benign. It is up to the security team to make sense of these alerts and identify them as part of a bigger cyber attack. Coupled with an ever increasing number of alerts, security teams are under tremendous pressure."

Doing so helps cut down on duplicate alerts and lets you better prioritize the important alerts and potential security threats.

"Investigating each and every security alert in a timely manner is simply not feasible as organizations accelerate their cloud and multi-cloud adoption. Without a new approach, security teams will miss events and alerts that are part of a bigger threat until it's too late. As organizations embark on multi-cloud adoption, they have an opportunity to revisit the tools and processes to enable their security teams to work more efficiently."
