Poster: Cybersecurity Usage in the Wild: A look at Deployment Challenges in Intrusion Detection and Alert Handling

Abstract

We examine the challenges cybersecurity practitioners face during their daily activities, employing a survey and semi-directed interview for data gathering. Practitioners report on the frequency and level of threats as well as other factors like burnout. These factors are observed to vary with organization size and field (e.g. Medical, E-commerce).
