Summary
In cybersecurity, speed matters. But speed without clarity? That’s chaos.
Every day, security teams face a flood of alerts – thousands of signals demanding attention, most leading nowhere.
While analysts chase false positives, real threats slip through unnoticed.
Alert fatigue has quietly become one of cybersecurity’s biggest risks. It drains focus, wastes time, and erodes trust in the very systems meant to protect us.
The Problem: More Data, Less Focus
Gartner and PwC both point to the same truth: more than two-thirds of security leaders can’t keep up with the volume of alerts their tools produce.
SIEM platforms were designed to collect everything (logs, events, anomalies), but not to help teams understand what truly matters.
As data grows across cloud, OT, and hybrid environments, the signal-to-noise ratio keeps falling.
Security teams aren’t short on data.
They’re short on clarity.
The Shift: From Collection to Correlation
XDR (Extended Detection & Response) tried to close that gap. It connects signals, uses AI to correlate events, and reveals patterns that humans would otherwise miss.
It’s a big step forward – but it’s not the full answer.
Because automation without understanding is just faster confusion.
AI can accelerate detection, but it can’t judge business impact or context.
That still requires human insight – the kind that turns information into action.
The Human + AI Model
That’s where ON2IT MDR Detect™ changes the game.
MDR Detect™ doesn’t just collect or correlate data. It interprets it.
Our AI-driven detection engine filters thousands of events into a handful of validated insights.
Then, if requested, the ON2IT’s analysts – working 24/7 from our CyberSOC – review, verify, and act in real time.
Machine speed. Human clarity.
Together, they eliminate noise and restore control.
The Real-World Impact
When alert fatigue ends, everything changes:
- Response times drop from hours to seconds.
- Teams shift from reactive firefighting to proactive threat hunting.
- Boards gain measurable confidence in security outcomes.
Security stops being reactive. It becomes deliberate.
When your people see clearly, they act faster – and smarter.
Key Takeaway: Clarity Is the New Speed
Modern security isn’t about collecting more data or chasing more alerts.
It’s about understanding what matters, faster.
You don’t need more alerts. You need faster clarity.
That’s what ON2IT MDR Detect™ delivers: sub-second detection, intelligent automation, and human-led response that turn noise into decisive action.
Because in cybersecurity, clarity isn’t a luxury.
It’s the difference between chaos and control.
