Alert Fatigue and Explainable Triage

Researching how excessive low-quality alerts, missing context and repetitive validation affect analysts—and how assistance can help.

Security OperationsExplainable AISIEMHuman-in-the-loop

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.
