"Cybersecurity professionals are being bombarded with alerts outside of business hours, with hackers deliberately timing their attacks for maximum impact."
"Research from Arctic Wolf shows more than half (51%) of alerts recorded by security operations teams are recorded after the majority of the business has clocked out."
"Around 15% of all alerts also take place on weekends, the study found, forcing security workers to drop personal activities and respond to potential incidents."
Cybersecurity professionals are experiencing a high volume of alerts outside standard business hours as attackers deliberately time their actions to maximize impact. More than half (51%) of alerts recorded by security operations teams occur after the majority of the business has clocked out. Approximately 15% of all alerts occur on weekends, creating additional off-hour workload. These patterns force security workers to interrupt personal activities and respond to potential incidents during evenings and weekends, increasing operational strain and reducing separation between work and personal time. The concentration of alerts outside normal hours concentrates incident response pressure when staffing and resources are often reduced.
