What is Security Monitoring Systems?

Security Monitoring Systems are technologies designed to detect and respond to security incidents and threats in an IT environment. They collect and analyze data from various sources, such as network devices, servers, applications, and endpoints, to identify suspicious activity, policy violations, and potential breaches. These systems often use techniques like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), intrusion detection/prevention, user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), and threat intelligence to provide comprehensive security visibility and enable timely response to incidents.
