Security News > 2022 > June > 48% of security practitioners seeing 3x increase in alerts per day

Panther Labs surveyed 400 active security practitioners, primarily, security analysts and security engineers, to reflect the "Boots on the ground" perspective for security teams.

Over the last 12 months, 48% have seen a 3x increase in the number of alerts per day.

Managing a high volume of false positives is contributing to alert fatigue, and impacting security teams' ability to focus on more high-value tasks.

55% have built their own detection and response tool, but less than half found it to be highly effective.

The need to build their own tools likely stems from dissatisfaction with the tools available, so they're taking on the momentous task of building their own when no commercial offerings can do the job.

"The answers provided by our respondents confirm what many security practitioners experience firsthand every day: commercial tools are often not living up to their expectations, but security teams also struggle to build their own internal tooling that can perform as needed."
