For 500 endpoints with 500 security alerts per day with 30 minutes average time to resolve
- Number of security alerts on average daily = 500
- Multiplied by the average time to resolve = 250 hours
- 250 hours ÷ 8 hours in average workday = 31.25 security analysts
In this example 31.25 full time security analysts are needed to effectively investigate and resolve the volume of security alerts
Using ATA, with a proven reduction of at least 99% in security alerts that need to be analyzed equates to:
- 500 x .01 = 5 security alerts for human eyes on them
- 5 x 30 minutes = 2.5 hours to resolve for all 5 security alerts
- 2.5 hours ÷ 8 hours in an average workday = .3125 of a security analyst
