Insight: Alert Fatigue from Noisy Tools Is Putting Strain on Security and Development Teams

ASPM Spotlight dedicates a portion of each issue to covering one insight from Cycode’s State of ASPM 2024 report. Today, we are discussing the impact of alert fatigue on security and dev teams.?

The constant influx of alerts generated by application security tools can overwhelm and desensitize security and developers. This continuous noise causes alert fatigue, which results in delayed responses and even missed critical alerts.

In our survey, 76% of the security professionals stated that managing all of these alerts is challenging. More than 4 in 5 respondents (81%) say they feel that their developer teams are experiencing too much vulnerability noise and alert fatigue.


Security teams believe vulnerability noise and alert fatigue is slowing remediation.


With so much noise to cut through, it’s no wonder that almost three quarters (74%) of security professionals surveyed find it challenging to know which vulnerabilities to fix first. Furthermore, 83% of respondents are not always able to scale the process of getting vulnerabilities to the right developers at the right time.

In addition, 80% of respondents whose developer teams are experiencing too much noise and alert fatigue also think that their developer teams aren’t remediating all vulnerabilities due to this.

What is abundantly clear is that alert fatigue is putting security and development teams under serious strain. The result? Organization’s applications and the data they contain are at risk. Cycode has some suggestions on how to stop alert fatigue :

  • Provide Context: Being able to see the big picture helps you understand which alerts are important and which are just noise (and can be safely deprioritized).
  • Implement Intelligent Prioritization: Use customized risk scoring and prioritization frameworks based on your organization’s risk appetite, business impact, and threat landscape.
  • Enable Actionable Remediation: Give developers clear, actionable steps to address identified vulnerabilities.
