A new analysis of 25 million security alerts reveals that organizations miss an average of one legitimate threat per week, primarily because low-severity warnings are overwhelming security teams. The data shows that the sheer volume of minor alerts creates blind spots, causing critical threats to slip through undetected as analysts struggle to prioritize what matters. This highlights a growing challenge in cybersecurity where alert fatigue is directly enabling attackers to exploit overlooked vulnerabilities.
