Description: Alert Fatigue occurs when security teams become desensitized to alerts due to a high volume of notifications. This phenomenon arises when security professionals receive a constant flow of alerts, many of which may be irrelevant or low-risk. Over time, this information overload can lead to a decreased response capability to critical alerts, resulting in the omission of real threats. Alert Fatigue is a significant challenge in information security and event management, as it can compromise the effectiveness of security operations and increase the risk of security incidents. The main characteristics of this phenomenon include emotional desensitization, reduced attention, and ineffective prioritization of alerts. The relevance of addressing Alert Fatigue lies in the need to maintain a robust and effective security environment, where each alert is properly assessed and responded to in a timely manner. To mitigate this issue, organizations should implement strategies that include improving alert quality, automating processes, and providing ongoing training for security personnel, thus ensuring that attention and response capability to potential threats are maintained.
