Real-Time Alerting

Definitions

1. The immediate generation and delivery of alerts as suspicious or important security events occur rather than through delayed batch review. Real-time alerting is most valuable when it is tied to actionable triage and response instead of simply increasing notification volume.

   In plain English: Raising security alerts immediately as events happen.

   Example: "Real-time alerting on impossible travel only became useful after the SOC added a rapid workflow for token revocation and user verification."
