Year 2 as CISO at a Fortune Global 500 Telecom. 2,847 alerts per day. 40% analyst turnover. My solution: buy the most expensive SIEM on the market. Six months later, we had 3,200 alerts per day, and a $550K bill. In this session, Adrian Salas, The Fast CISO, unpacks the real problem most security leaders miss, reveals the 1-hour tool stack audit that surfaced $2M in wasted spending across 17 overlapping tools, and walks through the 90-day consolidation playbook that cut alerts by 95%, reduced tool costs by 39%, and reduced analyst turnover from 40% to 12%. You'll leave with a battle-tested "Murder Board" framework and a one-page audit template you can use to start cutting noise and waste on Monday morning.
