Behaviour Monitoring

Behavior monitoring entails the systematic recording of events and activities within a system and among its users. These recorded events are then assessed against security policies and behavioral norms to ascertain compliance and detect any deviations. Behavioral monitoring encompasses various practices such as trend tracking, threshold setting, and response definition. Trend tracking allows for the identification of patterns over time, highlighting instances such as escalating errors necessitating technical support, abnormal load levels indicative of malicious activity, or increased production work signifying a need for capacity expansion. Thresholds establish benchfont s for acceptable levels of activity or events, triggering responses when surpassed, while events below the threshold are recorded for reference but do not prompt immediate action. Responses to detected anomalies may involve conflict resolution, violation handling, downtime prevention, or capability enhancement.
