Opinion: Anomaly Detection is no Silver Bullet for Incident Response

This commentary argues that anomaly detection is essential but not a silver bullet for incident response: rule-based and static machine-learning approaches often fail as environments and user behavior change, and Shadow IT/BYOD further complicate detection. The author recommends maintaining dynamic baselines, retaining sufficient network traffic for forensics, and focusing alerts on contextually relevant anomalies to enable faster, more accurate response.
