Cutting through the noise: Reducing false positives
with ITSM-aware alert validation

A security operations team struggled with an overwhelming number of routine “User account enable” alerts, one of the most frequently triggered rules in SOC environments. Most alerts were harmless IT or admin actions, creating alert fatigue and diverting analyst time away from real threats. Gruve introduced AI-driven, context-aware enrichment with ITSM integration to validate activity automatically and eliminate unnecessary manual investigation.

About the client

A security operations environment where SIEM alerts and routine ITSM-driven workflows are central to daily operations.

Challenges

The SOC experienced constant triggers of the “User account enable” rule. Because the majority of these alerts originated from routine and approved IT or admin actions, analysts spent considerable time reviewing events that posed no threat. This resulted in alert fatigue and inefficient use of analyst capacity.

Solutions

Alert detection

SIEM identifies the “User account enable” activity.

Automated validation with ITSM

A security analyst agent checks the ITSM change-ticket system to confirm whether the action aligns with approved activity and the user’s roles or privileges.

Contextual enrichment

The agent enriches each alert with relevant change-ticket data and compares it with baseline activity patterns.

Automated reporting

A reporting agent creates concise executive summaries and visual MITRE ATT&CK heatmaps.

Results

By automatically validating and enriching alerts using ITSM and behavioral context, Gruve significantly reduced unnecessary investigations tied to routine administrative actions. Analysts could redirect their attention toward high-risk, meaningful alerts, improving overall SOC efficiency and reducing fatigue.
