How much time does a small team need to run NDR?

Plan a short daily review and occasional longer investigations; the exact time depends on how many alerts the tool raises and how well each explains itself. In practice, a small team needs three kinds of time. A daily look at new alerts, so nothing waits a week. A weekly or monthly pass over closed alerts to mark recurring normal activity, such as backup jobs or update servers, so they stop coming back. And, when a serious alert arrives, enough time to investigate, which can mean hours and sometimes help from outside. The first weeks need more attention than later ones, while the tool and your team learn what is normal. Alerts that say in plain words what happened, on which host and why, cut the time per alert. NetSenX explains every alert in plain language on every plan and lets you mark false positives, but it does not remove the need for someone to read them and decide.
