Sergey Soldatov, Head of Security Operation Center at Kaspersky

Striving to minimize the risk of missing cyberattacks, we are forced to deal with a huge number of false positives in our detection logic. According to the MDR analytical report for 2023, the Kaspersky SOC team processed 431,512 security alerts, but only 32,294 were classified as a result of 14,160 incidents reported to customers.
