Security monitoring's primary goal is to detect and respond quickly to security threats before they cause significant harm to an organization's operations, reputation or finances. Successful cybersecurity monitoring typically employs both automated tools and human expertise in quickly detecting and responding to security incidents quickly - such as data collection and analysis; threat detection, incident response planning and continuous system improvements on security systems. Cyberattacks have become an increasing source of worry among businesses, as their increasing frequency and complexity threaten to cause severe financial losses, reputational harm and legal liabilities.
