- In cybersecurity, alerts that did not become incidents are used as evidence that defences work, when they may evidence an attacker who chose not to escalate that day.
This sourceDocuments how high volumes of non-incident security alerts produce false reassurance ('nothing critical has happened') and increase dwell time and blast radius — the security-operations form of reading non-incidents as defense-validation.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
