Early Warning System In Security

www.lastweekasavciso.com

Data is king. I got a flat tire last week....

Did I have a warning? Yes.

The car told me my tire pressure was low, so I pulled over, looked at the tire, and everything looked good.

Ten minutes later while driving, I felt a flat... on the highway!


Was I warned? Yes. But did that warning give me the full picture? No.

If I had more information, I might have been able to make a better decision.

Is the pressure low and stable... or is it dropping? What's the rate of drop?

This little piece of information would have been useful for me to make a good assessment and a decision.

In security, we ignore warnings all the time because there isn't much context or we're plagued by alert fatigue.

Make your warnings count, be context aware, and full of actionable data. 💡🎬
