SOC teams are drowning in false positives, with 71% fearing they’ll miss a real attack and 62% of alerts going ignored due to capacity limits, according to Vectra AI’s 2024 State of Threat Detection report. Many operate with 20+ tools, creating complexity and burnout rather than stronger security. The challenge lies in balancing precision and recall—catching threats without flooding analysts with noise. AI-powered detection is offering relief, with 75% of SOC professionals reporting reduced workloads. As 89% plan to invest in more AI tools, the priority is clear: adopt integrated, explainable platforms that cut through alert fatigue and restore analyst trust.
