You have heard the popular myth that human beings only use a small percentage of their brain capacity. As a sci-fi enthusiast, I love this one. Dreaming up fantastic scenarios where regular folk using 10 percent of their brainpower tap into the other 90 percent. They use wonder pills or alien injections to become savants, gain telekinetic powers, read people's minds, or otherwise master the paranormal realm.
The mundane reality is a lot more exciting than the myth. It turns out that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that most of the brain is active almost all the time. It's powering everything from basic motor functions like breathing or coordinating movement to higher-order functions like rational thought processing, logical sequencing, and making analytical considerations.
The brain is constantly working to make decisions, both voluntarily and involuntarily. A lot of those decisions are informed by memory, be it memory of past events or random information, or so-called muscle memory formed by practicing repetitive movement in certain situations to achieve an objective.
Ultimately, the brain is using most of its power transferring memory directly into action. It connects a lifetime of relevant past experiences as the foundation for how it prods the body to react to stimuli or how it spurs rational decision-making.
There's a big parallel here between the human brain and the cyber security operations “brain.” The security team's body — made up of security operations, security monitoring, and incident response personnel — needs a fully functioning 'brain' to process information about its existing threat circumstances and to then come up with beneficial action. This description of a "metaphorical" brain is the combined aggregate of human thinking power and machine-powered thinking over security technologies in place.
A lot of these teams ha ..
