The Real Meaning of Context in Cybersecurity
Our nation’s critical defense and transportation infrastructures face an increasingly sophisticated landscape of interconnected systems, placing enormous pressure on operators to sift through thousands of alerts from various assets. Analysts could easily become overwhelmed by a wall of flashing alerts—some critical, some less so. Without context, they could waste valuable time fixing a non-urgent issue while overlooking an alert affecting thousands of users. Context is key to cutting through the noise. It empowers operators to prioritize critical issues, focus time and resources where they matter most, and prevent system-wide disruptions.
