Cyber Security Monitoring is the process of continuously observing an IT system in order to detect data breaches, cyber threats, or other system vulnerabilities. Cyber Security Monitoring provides real-time visibility of suspicious behavior or unauthorized system changes on your network.This allows IT professionals to stay steps ahead of possible security threats and a variety of different data breaches.With cyber monitoring, foreign data is confirmed and monitored through your business’ security protocols. Data may be stored in a local datacenter or through a cloud database. As data is collected and analyzed, suspicious behaviors are defined and will trigger alerts. 

Why monitoring security is important?

As the modern workplace becomes increasingly cloud-focused and digitalised, the traditional network perimeter is blurring. Cyber threats are evolving to take advantage of new vulnerabilities that emerge daily.Cyber security threat monitoring is required to identify more sophisticated threats that evade these controls.Continuous cyber security monitoring helps to:

  • Detect a broader range of threats
  • Reduce the time it takes to respond to attacks
  • Comply with industry and regulatory requirements
