Monitoring Strategy

Noun · Security & Infosec

Definitions

  1. 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."
