SOC teams face over 3,000 security alerts daily, with 73% being false positives, costing U.S. enterprises an estimated $3.3 billion annually in manual triage. Elastic's Mika Ayenson explains why aggressive alert suppression creates dangerous blind spots — tuned-away signals are often exactly what attackers exploit. The recommended approach replaces blunt suppression with behavioral baselines, multi-domain correlation, and measurable, reversible tuning decisions. AI can process large data volumes while human analysts provide contextual judgment to validate threat hypotheses. Elastic Security and its Workflows platform are presented as tools to automate alert lifecycle management and codify team expertise into AI-backed workflows.
