FireEye Podcast: Signal to Noise

How do you weed through the noise to find the signal? In this latest
podcast, Josh Goldfarb, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at
FireEye, discusses best practices when looking for the signal within
the noise of alert volume.

According to Goldfarb, there are many ways an organization could
improve the efficiency of its security operations workflow, but one
way in particular makes a significant difference. A better quality of
alerts means more efficiency.. In other words, our work queue defines
what our scarce human resources work on in a given day. Given that,
doesn’t it make sense to supply that work queue with the highest
quality, highest fidelity alerts possible to ensure that human
resources spend their precious cycles on the highest value work? In
other words: more signal, less noise. Learn how this approach impacts
information security and cyberwar in this latest podcast.
