Step 6: Monitor and Detect Security Breaches in Real-Time

Detecting Threats Early

Early detection is one of the most effective ways to minimize the impact of a security breach. Real-time monitoring and detection systems allow you to identify potential attacks before they cause significant harm.

Key Actions:

• Intrusion Detection Systems: Set up IDS to continuously monitor network traffic for suspicious activity.

• Log Monitoring: Regularly monitor and analyze system logs to detect unauthorized access attempts or unusual activities.

• Threat Intelligence: Use threat intelligence feeds to stay updated on the latest cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, and attack techniques.

By staying vigilant, you can quickly respond to potential threats before they escalate.
