Three core systems drive their strategy: a daily 5PM digest that surfaces only curated, high-signal events; an automated advisory pipeline that ingests CVEs and vendor bulletins, deduplicates them, validates asset exposure, and routes only applicable findings to humans; and an AI-powered L1 triage agent that enriches alerts within two minutes, manages ticket lifecycles, and auto-closes confirmed false positives. The result was an ~80% reduction in MTTR during a month when alert volumes spiked 93%. The underlying philosophy is to prevent the haystack from forming rather than searching it more efficiently. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
