A security operations center (SOC) is experiencing a higher than usual volume of alerts. The team needs to ensure that critical incidents are not missed. Which action BEST helps prioritize and manage the alert volume effectively?
Increase the thresholds for alert generation in the SIEM solution.
Disable low-priority alerts to reduce overall alert volume.
Implement a tiered alerting system that categorizes alerts based on severity.
Deploy automated responses to reduce manual intervention for all alerts.
Implementing a tiered alerting system helps in prioritizing critical alerts by categorizing them based on severity and urgency. This approach allows the SOC to focus on high-risk incidents first, ensuring that they are addressed promptly. While SIEM solutions, automated responses, and altering thresholds also assist in managing alerts, they do not inherently guarantee the prioritization of critical incidents as effectively as a tiered system.
