An important part in all security systems is detection of unwanted incidents. It is impossible to react to policy violations, security incidents or other forms of an attacks if it is not detected. To identify these signs of incidents and security events you have to look through system logs and information.
Effectively collecting and analyzing will help detect incidents faster, minimizing the time a threat actor has available to perform malicious actions in the network. The information should be monitored continuously, triggering alerts as soon as an incident occurs.
Continuous Monitoring is the cornerstone of every organization's work with security.
Every internationally recognized standard and framework for security have sections / chapters regarding continuous monitoring to detect incidents, and this is a baseline for what is expected for an organization to have in place.
Examples of standards and frameworks that addresses continuous monitoring:
