Research Reveals Growing Distrust for Threat Detection Tools as SOC Teams Struggle to Identify Real Attacks

Report finds 54% (global 60%) of SOC practitioners say security vendors flood them with pointless alerts to avoid responsibility for a breach, with 45% (global 47%) noting they do not trust their tools to work the way they need them to work

SINGAPORE, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vectra AI, Inc., the leader in AI-driven XDR (extended detection and response), today announced the findings of its 2024 State of Threat Detection and Response Research Report: The Defenders' Dilemma. The report shows that security operations center (SOC) practitioners believe they are losing the battle detecting and prioritizing real threats - due to too many siloed tools and a lack of accurate attack signal. They cite a growing distrust in vendors, believing their tools can be more of a hindrance than help in spotting real attacks. This is at odds with growing confidence in their teams' abilities and a sense of optimism around the promise of artificial intelligence (AI).
