Can Risk-Based Alerting Mitigate Cybersecurity Alert Fatigue?
Academic study examines whether risk-based alerting can meaningfully cut SOC false-positive volume — timely for teams drowning in low-signal detections and exploring SIEM tuning strategies.

arXiv:2609.02465v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Security operations centers (SOCs) face large numbers of false alerts, making detection of cyberattacks difficult under typical resource constraints. Risk-based alerting (RBA) has been proposed as a means to reduce false alerts and has reportedly succeeded in doing so in various enterprise deployments. However, RBA has not been comprehensively evaluated until now, leaving implementation mostly guesswork based on anecdotal evidence. In this paper,
Editorial Analysis
Alert fatigue remains one of the biggest operational risks in SOCs; validated risk-based prioritisation could free analyst capacity for real threats.
Evaluate risk-based alerting approaches in your SIEM environment to quantify false-positive reduction potential.
