Frequently Asked

About the IT Noise Calculator

What is IT alert noise or alert fatigue?
Alert fatigue is when IT and security teams receive so many automated alerts each day that they begin ignoring or auto-dismissing them — including the ones that matter. Most SMB tools generate 80 to 95 percent false positives. Real threats get missed because they look identical to the routine noise.
How much time do IT teams lose to false alerts?
A typical SMB internal IT team spends 30 to 60 percent of their week triaging alerts that turn out to be false positives. That's $40,000 to $80,000 per year of skilled IT labor spent on noise rather than real work. For a Managed SOC team, alert filtering is the core daily function — the human cost moves off your books and onto the provider's.
How does a managed SOC reduce alert noise?
A Managed SOC combines correlation rules, threat intelligence, and human analysts to filter the 80 to 95 percent of alerts that don't matter — and only escalates the ones that do. You see 5 to 10 actionable items per week instead of 1,000 raw alerts per day. Securafy's Advanced SOC typically reduces noise by 92 to 96 percent.
Is this tool free?
Yes. The IT Noise Calculator is free and shows your estimated noise burden in hours per week and labor cost per year. No signup required.
