Continuous Monitoring
Explore how continuous monitoring employs sensors and SIEM systems to maintain constant awareness of network activity and endpoints. Learn about alert generation, sensor maintenance, and techniques like heartbeat scripts to ensure system and sensor health within cybersecurity operations.
Overview
Continuous monitoring provides constant awareness of what’s happening on the network and all its connected endpoints. This awareness is provided by sensors installed on endpoints and at various places throughout the network. These sensors generate security alerts and monitor information that a centralized log repository can collect, like a security information and event management solution (SIEM).
