In this Help Net Security video, Peter Manev, Chief Strategy Officer at Stamus Networks, discusses a pervasive problem plaguing security analysts called "Alert fatigue," - which occurs when security teams become desensitized to an overwhelming volume of alerts, causing them to miss or overlook critical events and have slower response times.

A variety of other factors also contribute - and many are within the organization's control.
