Stepping Into the Light: Why CISOs Are Replacing Black-Box Security With Open-Source XDR
Briefly

Security teams are inundated with data, receiving an average of 500 alerts weekly, which often leads to ignoring many due to overwhelming volume. The key issue is not just visibility but the lack of context that hampers effective decision-making. Board scrutiny and regulatory demands necessitate clear and transparent reporting from CISOs, yet many tools fail to offer this transparency, operating as closed systems that obscure crucial information rather than illuminating risks.
According to one report, the average security operations center (SOC) team receives 500 investigation-worthy endpoint security alerts per week, with some 67% ignoring lower-priority alerts due to the unmanageable volume they receive.
It's not a visibility problem in the traditional sense - it's a context problem.
As board scrutiny and regulatory obligations increase, CISOs need to be able to extract clear, transparent information about network incidents that make them easy to act on, and easy to report.
Instead of shining a light on risk, these platforms obscure it.
