Monitoring Strategy
Noun · Security & Infosec
Definitions
The overall plan for what telemetry to collect, where to collect it, how long to retain it, and which behaviors to detect or investigate. A strong monitoring strategy aligns visibility with likely threats and business-critical assets instead of collecting everything indiscriminately.
In plain English: The overall plan for what to monitor and why.
Example: "Their monitoring strategy changed after the breach to include identity provider logs and cloud control plane events."
