Unlike older, static approaches that require manual configuration of fixed sets of parameters to
look for, automated continuous monitoring enables risks to be better understood and threats to
be prioritized and mitigated more rapidly (in some cases, even automatically).

Ultimately, continuous monitoring provides visibility across the cyber kill chain, giving network
security staff immediate insights into attempts at reconnaissance, breaching and exfiltration.

This has become a best practice because it focuses directly on the actions that such code
takes, while freeing network security teams from repetitively chasing log files or being inundated
with alerts so that they can focus on the bigger picture and more effectively stop attacks.
