AppSec alert fatigue: 4 ways to reduce burnout — and boost security

This article discusses the drivers of AppSec alert fatigue—tool sprawl, false positives, and vulnerability backlogs—and offers practical guidance to reduce noise and improve outcomes: automate triage and prioritization (leveraging SSVC and CISA KEV), improve alert quality to cut false positives, consolidate tools for visibility and efficiency, and adopt a risk-based approach to remediation. It further recommends enhancing runtime visibility (including mobile), complementing SAST with SCA and RASP, and applying complex binary analysis as a final pre-release assurance step.
