The answer to this has always been automation, whether it's automation
of log analysis, alarms/traps, and/or on the fly packet header monitoring.

When an alarm occurs, the SOC gets alerted and an escalation procedure
begins. This is standard practice. You don't have senior engineers monitoring
systems 24 x 7 but you damned well better have them available when something
real happens.
