Rising AI-related alert volume is reshaping enterprise SOC triage
Trend
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
Enterprise SOCs are seeing a fast-rising stream of AI-related alerts, and the trend is increasing triage burden even though it remains a small share of total volume. The measured slice reached 0.43% of SOC alerts and climbed 685% between February and June 2026. Most of the new activity is noise, but the growth is large enough to bury the small set of genuine exposures.
