Security News > 2022 > March > The problem with multiple cloud security tools: Alert fatigue and burnout
Orca Security released a research report on public cloud security alert fatigue.
"Multiple, disconnected tools continue to plague security teams. Having to sift through hundreds of 'high priority' often meaningless alerts is causing security practitioners to become overwhelmed and leading to burnout and turnover, exacerbating cybersecurity staff shortages," said Avi Shua, CEO, Orca Security.
Alert fatigue causes burnout, turnover, and internal friction: 62% of respondents say that alert fatigue has contributed to turnover, and 60% said that alert fatigue has created internal friction.
Those with 10 or more cloud security tools are 67% more likely to receive more than 1,000 alerts per day than those with 5 or fewer tools.
More than 50% of security professionals with at least 10 tools in their cloud environments receive 40% or more false-positive alerts.
Almost 70% of security teams with more than 10 tools suffer from alert fatigue compared to 57% of teams with less than 5 tools.
