ManageEngine has launched a major upgrade to its Log360 security platform that promises to cut through the noise plaguing modern cybersecurity teams. The enhancement comes at a critical time when security operations centers (SOCs) are drowning in irrelevant alerts.
The Alert Fatigue Crisis
Security teams today face an overwhelming problem: too much information. According to Google’s 2025 Threat Intelligence Benchmark study, over 60% of SOC teams are swamped with irrelevant threat data, with 53% of cloud security alerts being nothing but noise. This flood of false positives is burning out security analysts and slowing down response times when real threats emerge.
“The biggest challenge for security teams today isn’t collecting data, it’s separating genuine signals from overwhelming noise,” said Manikandan Thangaraj, Vice President at ManageEngine.
Real-World Results
The proof is already in the numbers. Emergency Communications of Southern Oregon (ECSO) 911, which handles emergency dispatch for Jackson County and Crater Lake National Park, tested the new system during beta trials. The results were striking: a 90% reduction in false or low-priority alerts.
“With Log360’s optimized detection rules and filtering techniques, we have reduced false or low-priority alerts by 90%, allowing our analysts to focus on the threats that matter most,” said Corey Nelson, IT manager at ECSO 911.
What’s New Under the Hood
ManageEngine’s solution centers on three key improvements:
Smarter Detection Console: The platform now consolidates all detection content into a single dashboard, including rules aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Security teams can create detection rules through a simple interface without writing complex code.
Cloud-Delivered Rules: Over 1,500 prebuilt detection rules are automatically updated from the cloud, covering everything from privilege escalation to endpoint attacks. ManageEngine’s in-house threat research team continuously refines these rules to minimize false positives.
Enterprise-Ready Architecture: The system can now scale horizontally with distributed processing and centralized collection, making it suitable for large organizations with multiple locations.
The Bottom Line
For enterprises struggling with alert fatigue, ManageEngine’s approach represents a shift from simply monitoring everything to intelligently filtering what matters. By reducing noise while maintaining comprehensive threat coverage, the platform aims to help security teams work more efficiently and respond faster to genuine threats.
This development signals a broader industry trend toward precision over volume in cybersecurity monitoring.
