In cybersecurity, what does alert triage refer to?

• The process of reporting security incidents

• The process of analyzing and prioritizing security events based on severity

• The process of eliminating security threats

• The process of monitoring network traffic

Why is it necessary to order alerts in today's digital world?

• To slow down the pace of the digital world

• Because organizations receive a manageable number of security alerts

• To ensure the most important alerts take priority

• To increase the number of security alerts

What is the main reason for prioritizing alerts?

• To increase alert fatigue.

• To decrease the number of alerts received.

• To prevent alert fatigue.

• To treat all alerts as high priority.

What is a consequence of alert fatigue?

• Increased attentiveness to alerts.

• Decreased number of false positives.

• Increased responsiveness to critical alerts.

• Diminishes the ability to respond to real security alerts.

What is crucial to establish first when setting up an alert triage?

• A complex and confusing workflow

• A clear and concise workflow

• A decentralized system for tracking

• A ticketing system without a clear form of communication

In the context of establishing an alert triage, what does a well-defined workflow process ensure?

• A) It ensures that a team is confused about handling alerts

• B) It ensures that a team is unprepared for security operations

• C) It ensures that a team is prepared to handle alerts quickly and efficiently

• D) It ensures that a team has no defined responsibilities

What is a characteristic of a successful security operations center (SOC)?

• Lacks clear responsibilities

• Has undefined roles for team members

• Has clearly defined responsibilities

• Does not require a centralized system for tracking alerts

Which factors should be considered when establishing an alert triage according to the presentation?

• The cost of the security tools and the time it takes to resolve alerts.

• The severity of the threat, the likelihood of exploitation, and the potential damage it could cause.

• The number of alerts received and the technical skills of the security team.

• The type of security software used and the company's overall budget.

What is SIEM as described in the image?

• A protocol for managing security events in real-time.

• A cybersecurity technology that provides a single, streamlined view of your data.

• A type of security alert that indicates a high level of threat.

• A security team responsible for handling cyber threats.
