- Network and System Monitoring is the continuous surveillance and analysis of network infrastructure, servers, and endpoints to detect and respond to anomalies, performance issues, and security threats.
- Network and System Monitoring is important for ensuring the availability, performance, and security of IT infrastructure, identifying and resolving issues before they impact business operations, and detecting and mitigating security threats in real-time.
- Network and System Monitoring can monitor a wide range of devices and systems, including routers, switches, servers, workstations, firewalls, virtual machines, and cloud services.
- Network Monitoring focuses on monitoring network traffic, devices, and connections, while System Monitoring focuses on monitoring server performance, resource utilization, and application health.
- Incident response is a structured approach to addressing and managing the aftermath of a security breach or cyberattack. It involves identifying, containing, eradicating, and recovering from security incidents to minimize damage and restore normal operations.
- Incident response is crucial for minimizing the impact of security breaches. It helps organizations detect and respond to incidents promptly, reducing downtime, financial losses, reputational damage, and legal repercussions.
- Incident response typically involves four main phases: preparation, detection and analysis, containment, eradication and recovery. Each phase is critical for effectively responding to and mitigating the impact of security incidents.
- Preparation involves creating and maintaining an incident response plan, establishing clear roles and responsibilities, conducting regular training and drills, implementing security controls and monitoring systems, and ensuring proper documentation and communication channels.
- Common security incidents include malware infections, data breaches, insider threats, denial-of-service attacks, unauthorized access, phishing scams, and ransomware attacks.
