What role does continuous monitoring play in cybersecurity risk management?

Continuous monitoring helps organizations detect, respond to, and mitigate cybersecurity threats in real-time by providing ongoing visibility into their IT systems and networks. This proactive approach allows for immediate detection of unusual or suspicious activities that may indicate a security breach. By constantly monitoring network traffic, system logs, and user actions, organizations can quickly identify potential threats and take immediate action to respond and mitigate the impact before they escalate into larger security incidents. Employing automated monitoring tools and implementing real-time alerts enables organizations to stay ahead of cyber threats and protect their sensitive data and resources effectively.
