Why Most Security Alerts Don’t Deserve Your Attention

Why Most Security Alerts Don’t Deserve Your Attention

Founder’s perspective

Most organizations don’t have a security visibility problem — they have an attention problem.

Modern environments generate thousands of signals every day: login events, endpoint telemetry, email activity, cloud actions. Individually, many of these signals are harmless. Collectively, they create noise that overwhelms teams and blurs what actually matters.

The industry’s default response has been to alert on everything and let humans figure it out later. That approach assumes unlimited time, unlimited analysts, and zero fatigue — none of which exist in real businesses.

At QuietWatch, we believe alerts should be earned, not automatic.

A signal only deserves human attention when:

  • it meaningfully deviates from normal behavior
  • it persists or escalates over time
  • it changes the risk posture of the environment

Everything else should be observed quietly in the background.

This isn’t about suppressing alerts or hiding risk. It’s about preserving human judgment for moments that actually require it. When attention is treated as a scarce resource, decision-making improves — and so does security.
