That gap between entry and detection is the real challenge.<\/p>\n<p>This creates pressure for CISOs and SOC leaders. Analysts deal with alert fatigue, unclear signals, and limited time. When alerts are uncertain, response slows. And when response slows, business risk increases.

They use legitimate credentials, approved admin tools, and encrypted channels. This makes malicious activity harder to distinguish from routine operations.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if an attacker logs in using stolen credentials, endpoint or SIEM alerts may not trigger immediately.
