How Top CISOs Solve Burnout and Speed up MTTR without Extra Hiring

Top CISOs are turning to sandbox-first investigation to remove delays from security operations, arguing that static verdicts and fragmented workflows drive burnout and slow containment. They emphasise using an interactive sandbox like ANY[.]RUN to detonate suspicious files and links in an isolated environment, producing visible behavior that informs decisions early rather than after hours of back-and-forth, according to The Hacker News.

The approach promises MTTR reductions, with evidence-driven outputs that replace guesswork and cut time wasted on qualification and containment. The article highlights concrete gains, including a reduction of up to 30% in Tier-1 to Tier-2 escalations, and up to 21 minutes saved per case, enabling senior specialists to focus on real incidents.

It also notes that automation plus interactivity leads to an up to 3× increase in SOC output, a 50% MTTR reduction in some cases, and higher detection rates for evasive threats, alongside lower burnout and steadier SLA performance.
