Spoiler Alert: It’s a lot…
SOC teams have struggled with false positive alerts since, well, the beginning of security centers. There are a lot of studies (by security vendors) on how much time SOC analysts spend on false positive alerts. Unfortunately, we are not IPO rich (yet) - so we didn’t conduct our own study - but we did take the average from a few (1, 2, 3) reports. According to our sources, a single analyst wastes an average of 8.4 hours per week triaging false positive alerts.*
GreyNoise can help SOC teams reduce false positives by providing context to the alerts on internet-wide scanners, crawlers, and other suspicious activity that may trigger false alarms. How many times have you got an alert that turns out to be [insert security company] just scanning the internet?
