Continuous Monitoring - Advantages | Intellipaat

IT firms that can analyze its IT security and infrastructure measures in real-time have a major competitive edge over rivals who continue to analyse older data in batches or on a periodic basis. The principal advantages of continuous monitoring are:

• Increase Network Transparency and Visibility: SecOps personnel have a window of access into the internal workings of the computer infrastructure thanks to real-time monitoring. Significant moments and trends won't be overlooked due to a lack of system visibility if it is possible to collect, normalise, and analyse data from across the network utilising automated processes.

• Facilitate Rapid Incident Response: Constant monitoring reduces the lag between the initial occurrence of an IT incident and the time it is notified to the response team, allowing for a quicker reaction to security risks or operational problems. When a breach occurs, incident response teams can act right away to reduce damage and restore systems thanks to the availability of real-time security intelligence.

• Reduce System Downtime: Uptime and performance of systems are what IT operations are meant to maintain. Continuous monitoring enables IT Ops to address application performance issues more rapidly and fix errors before they result in service interruptions that are bad for customers.

• Drive Business Performance: One feature of constant monitoring software products that is commonly disregarded is user behaviour monitoring. Using event logs, IT Ops teams may monitor user behaviour on the network, use that data to improve customer experience, and more effectively lead users to their intended tasks and activities.
