Alfred Huger, CPO and Co-Founder of Command Zero, says security teams struggle to standardize investigations because the environment they operate in constantly changes.

Huger explains that many organizations try to turn investigations into repeatable workflows, but the problems security teams face every day are not consistent. Security tools also change frequently as companies replace or add products to their stacks, which can alter investigations. 

Teams often need dedicated effort just to manage those processes while already working under heavy workloads. Context, Huger says, is one of the most powerful factors in determining whether an investigation succeeds. It helps analysts decide whether an alert represents a real incident.

When incidents escalate, time becomes critical. Watch the video for Huger’s full explanation.
