Why 24/7 Security Monitoring Matters for Your Company

Gary Perkins, CISO at CISO Global

The Role of Expert Analysts in Securing Your Company

A strong security posture requires more than just tools—it needs people. Skilled analysts work around the clock, leveraging real-time insights to detect and mitigate threats before they can escalate. Their role extends beyond simple monitoring; they actively hunt for suspicious activity, investigate anomalies, and respond to incidents with precision. They are continuously making tweaks to improve the ability of the systems to find and mitigate potential incidents.

How Threats Are Detected and Addressed

By aggregating and correlating data from a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system, analysts gain a comprehensive view of an organization’s security landscape. This data is enriched at the Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) layer, where automated runbooks help identify and categorize threats such as:

• Suspicious Logins: Identifying unusual access patterns, such as logins from unexpected locations or at odd hours.
• Brute Force Attempts: Detecting repeated failed login attempts that may indicate credential-stuffing attacks.
• Exploitation of Vulnerabilities: Monitoring for known weaknesses being probed or actively exploited.
• Malicious Processes: Recognizing unauthorized or suspicious processes that could indicate malware or other threats.

Detecting Threat Actors—With or Without Your Consent

Whether an entity is testing your network with permission or a malicious actor is attempting to gain unauthorized access, security teams must be vigilant. Their expertise ensures that threats are not only detected but also contextualized and neutralized before damage can be done.

Peace of Mind Through Expert Security Operations

Security is a continuous effort, and organizations must be prepared at all times. By entrusting professionals with 24/7 monitoring and response, businesses gain confidence that their data and infrastructure remain protected against an ever-evolving threat landscape. With expert analysts combining advanced tools, automation, and human intelligence, organizations can rest assured that cybersecurity remains a top priority—day and night.
