Continuous monitoring. Or rather Continuous monitoring strategies.

Are there any success stories out there regarding implementing a continuous monitoring strategy in your org? What are some key points to focus on implementing such a strategy?

The last few organizations I have supported have continuous monitoring strategies in theory, but I feel like the implementation is haphazard.

In today's digital age, cybersecurity threats are evolving rapidly, and organizations must be vigilant to protect their systems. A recent incident involving CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity firm, serves as a critical reminder of the importance of proactive patch management and continuous monitoring.

Continuous monitoring is the third area of zero trust, this pillar enables organizations to detect and respond to threats in near real-time. Transactional data is voluminous in every organization.; hardware, software, and network data are continuously being created. Putting together all this data in a concise and useful way is the difficult part of the information age. As it’s been said “If it were easy, we’d all be doing it. “
The following areas of continuous monitoring need to be understood before determining how to utilize transactional data.

Real-Time Threat Detection: With continuous monitoring, threats are identified promptly, minimizing potential damage by swiftly addressing anomalies. This can be obtained through monitoring hardware logs, application and OS data or any platform or software tool which can collect, analyze, and identify suspect activity. Having a centralized location where data is accessible and searchable is key. Whether utilizing a security information and event management (SIEM) tool or some new age artificial intelligence (AI) platform, having access to and the ability to query data is critical to near real time detection.

Behavioral Analysis: Analyzing user behavior and network activities in near real-time allows for the early detection of suspicious patterns, a cornerstone of zero trust. In many ways this is directly connected to identity and asset management, IAM. Knowing when and were a user is along with how they logon and potentially common patterns improves your chances of identifying suspicious activity. Additionally, knowing when certain assets should be accessed or when network traffic is out of the norm can be a great indicator of compromise.

Proactive Response: Rapid threat identification enables proactive response measures, thwarting potential breaches before they escalate. For decades, IT and security were fully reactive. With the increase in ransomware and advanced persistent threats being able to quickly identify and address threats is greater than ever. The dwell time between intrusion and action of threat actors have gone from weeks to minutes based on the intention of the actors and their defined end goal.

Dynamic Risk Assessment: Continuous analytics provides ongoing risk assessments, allowing for adaptive security measures that align with zero trust principles. Leveraging data from your endpoints, systems, end user interactions, etc. can help define the direction of future security decision. For example, phishing test rates may show a need for additional user training all the way to implementing a more advanced next-generation firewall to reduce inbound/outbound threats.

Embrace continuous monitoring and analytics to bolster your zero trust strategy, ensuring resilience in the face of evolving cyber threats. It takes time, diligence and constant revision to know the good from the bad. Determining your organizations risk appetite determines how those detect threats are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
