A company is revising its security monitoring strategies to enhance incident detection and response. Their current system is primarily manual, resulting in delayed identification and inconsistent reporting of suspicious activities. Which of the following is the BEST method to improve their incident reporting and monitoring process?
Conducting more comprehensive employee training sessions
Increasing the frequency of manual security audits
Expanding the in-house security team
Implementing real-time automated monitoring and alerting systems
Automated monitoring and alerting systems provide real-time detection of security events, which significantly reduce response times to potential incidents. By setting thresholds and parameters for normal network behavior, these systems can promptly identify and report suspicious activities, enabling quicker remediation. While all other options may contribute to effective security practices, automated alerting will most directly address the current delays and inconsistencies in incident detection and reporting, leading to improved security posture.
