What happens when new alerts continue to be generated from a device that is under investigation?

When new alerts are generated from a device that is under investigation, they are automatically consolidated into one investigation if multiple alerts occur. This feature is particularly beneficial for security operations as it allows analysts to view and manage related alerts in a cohesive manner. By consolidating alerts, analysts can more efficiently assess the situation surrounding the device, facilitating a comprehensive investigation without having to deal with fragmented pieces of information that may correspond to the same underlying issue.

This consolidation helps in streamlining the workflow for security teams, ensuring that they can address incidents effectively and make informed decisions based on the collective context of the alerts. It enhances situational awareness and supports timely action against potential threats, thereby improving the overall security posture of the organization.

The other options do not accurately reflect how alert consolidation is handled during an investigation process. For instance, continuously adding alerts to investigations without consolidation can lead to confusion and inefficiency, while triggering separate investigations for each device would complicate the analysis and response process unnecessarily. Simply allowing alerts to appear without any follow-up actions would signify a lack of proactive incident management, which is not aligned with best practices in security operations.
