\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Network\u00a0<\/span>S<\/span>ecurity\u00a0<\/span>M<\/span>onitoring (NSM) is the continuous practice of collecting, analyzing, and responding to network data to detect threats,\u00a0<\/span>identify<\/span>\u00a0vulnerabilities, and protect digital infrastructure from cyberattacks. Unlike basic network performance monitoring that tracks bandwidth and uptime, network security monitoring specifically focuses on\u00a0<\/span>identifying<\/span> malicious activities, unauthorized access attempts, suspicious traffic patterns, and indicators of compromise across all network segments.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Modern cybersecurity monitoring combines automated detection tools, behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence to provide real-time visibility into everything traversing your network, from routine user activity to sophisticated attack techniques hiding within legitimate traffic.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
