Recent research from ESG shows that security teams are so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of security alerts that 43 percent of teams routinely ignore as much as 75 percent of all alerts[1]. At ServiceNow we’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to automate security incident response to help teams cope better. That’s why at this year’s Black Hat conference, we surveyed 337 security and IT professionals to better understand how and when to automate security incident response. What we found provides a roadmap for attacking the challenge of keeping-up with an increasingly overwhelming number of security alerts. Mark Ackerman, Sales Director – Middle East, ServiceNow
