"Running a SOC often feels like drowning in alerts. Every morning, dashboards light up with thousands of signals; some urgent, many irrelevant. The job is to find the real threats fast enough to keep cases from piling up, prevent analyst burnout, and maintain client or leadership confidence. The toughest challenges, however, aren't the alerts that can be dismissed quickly, but the ones that hide in plain sight. These tricky threats drag out investigations, create unnecessary escalations, and quietly drain resources over time."
"SOC teams looking to close detection gaps have found one approach that works: building detection as a continuous workflow, where every step reinforces the next. Instead of stalling in disconnected tools, analysts move through a process that flows, from filtering alerts to detonating suspicious files to validating indicators. A recent ANY.RUN survey shows just how much this shift can change SOC performance: 95% of SOC teams reported faster investigations 94% of users said triage became quicker and clearer"
SOC operations face overwhelming daily alert volumes, many of which are irrelevant, while subtle threats hide in plain sight and extend investigations. Investigations slow down when intelligence, detonation, and enrichment are split across disconnected tools, causing wasted minutes, stalled cases, and unnecessary escalations. Building detection as a continuous workflow connects filtering, detonation, and validation so analysts move through cases without tool switching. Survey results show faster investigations, clearer triage, and measurable MTTR reductions, with more threats identified. Benefits include reduced alert overload, improved visibility into complex attacks, stronger compliance reporting, and faster analyst skill growth through practical experience.
