Research question
How can security operations workflows reduce the cognitive burden created by false positives, low-priority alerts and missing context without hiding important evidence or over-automating decisions?
Current focus
- Definitions and causes of alert fatigue.
- Analyst experiences with false positives and manual validation.
- The role of context in triage quality.
- Explainable AI and language-model assistance.
- Human approval boundaries for response actions.
Intended contribution
The research will inform practical design principles for alert summarization, prioritization, investigation guidance and controlled response workflows.
Status note
This is ongoing research. Conclusions should be presented only after the evidence review and methodology are complete.
