Security Data Paradox: When More Data Means Less Visibility

This report outlines the SOC “visibility paradox,” showing how adversaries exploit normal-looking traffic and everyday system behavior—citing a 250% rise in T1071 (camouflaged C2), increased use of rotating malicious infrastructure/traffic-distribution systems, and a 33% uptick in system information discovery—while specialization and AI-driven domain churn amplify noise; it advocates behavior-based detection, strong baselining, integrated telemetry, and intelligence-driven purple teaming to cut through false positives and accelerate effective detection and response.
