Exam CS0-003 topic 1 question 177 discussion

I passed exam today March 9, 2024, this was in the exam

If the goal is to reduce analyst alert fatigue, then the hope is to reduce the rate of false positives. Hence, C.

The MTTR (Mean Time To Respond) decreases by 20%

The best possible outcome of integrating Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Cybersecurity Automation & Security Orchestration (CASE) to reduce analyst alert fatigue is: Option D The MTTR (Mean Time To Respond) decreases by 20%, from my point of view. Explanation: Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) measures how quickly security teams can investigate and mitigate threats. Integrating DLP (which helps prevent data exfiltration) and CASE (which automates security operations and orchestrates responses) improves efficiency by reducing manual workload, streamlining responses, and prioritizing critical alerts. This leads to faster incident resolution, which directly reduces MTTR.

The MTTR (Mean Time to Resolution) decreases by 20% is the best possible outcome that this effort hopes to achieve, as it reflects the improvement in the efficiency and effectiveness of the incident response process by reducing analyst alert fatigue.

Reducing false positives is important, but the more meaningful outcome would be how this impacts the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the team, which is measured by MTTR.

Reducing the rate of false positives is directly tied to reducing alert fatigue. Analysts spend a significant amount of time dealing with false positives, which can lead to burnout and missed genuine threats. By lowering the false positive rate, the quality of alerts improves, making the analysts work more efficient.

Nothing worse than investigating FPs over and over
