Security Monitoring
Security monitoring focuses on detecting, analyzing, and responding to threats.
Key Features
Threat Detection
Identify suspicious activity (malware, intrusions, unauthorized access)
Log Analysis
Monitor system logs (servers, firewalls, applications)
User Behavior Analytics (UBA)
Detect abnormal user actions
Endpoint Monitoring
Track devices like laptops and servers
Common Tools
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)
Examples: Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar
β Collects and analyzes logs in real time
EDR/XDR (Endpoint Detection & Response)
Examples: CrowdStrike, Defender for Endpoint
β Detects endpoint threats and attacks
IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems)
β Identifies malicious traffic patterns
What It Detects
Unauthorized access attempts
Data exfiltration
Malware / ransomware
Insider threats
Network Monitoring
Performance Monitoring
Bandwidth, latency, packet loss
Availability Monitoring
Devices and services uptime
Traffic Analysis
Who is using the network and how
Configuration Monitoring
Changes in network devices
Common Tools
Common Tools

π How They Work Together
Modern systems combine both:
- Network monitoring detects anomalies (e.g., traffic spike)
- Security tools analyze for threats (e.g., DDoS attack)
This integration is often called: π NDR (Network Detection & Response)
