Automation is a key tool in defending organizations from digital threats, but it has its limitations. Even with advanced technology, up to 80% of security alerts can still be false positives. This is where Human Intelligence (HUMINT) becomes essential in Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS). HUMINT provides the context and insight that automated systems often miss, turning raw data into actionable intelligence. By combining automation with human expertise, DRPS can more effectively respond to current threats and stay ahead of evolving risks, creating a balanced and proactive approach to digital security.
