Security’s Blind Spot: The Threats Hiding in “Low-Severity” Alerts May 6, 2026
Security operations centers (SOCs) operate under a difficult reality where there are far more security alerts than human analysts available to investigate them. As organizations expand their digital environments and deploy more security tools, alert volume continues to grow faster than teams can realistically manage. AI is really just another layer that accelerates the volume […]

Their ability to operate inside the same tools and infrastructure that defenders rely on makes these intrusions difficult to detect. The stakes extend well beyond espionage. For example, in 2022, Iranian-linked attackers caused […]

They know who has access to their CRM and can pull audit logs for every sensitive document that’s been opened, copied, or shared in the last 90 days. Ask those same teams what’s happening with the thousands of hours of video footage […]
