Some of the benefits of security monitoring include the ability to find critical software patches that are missing, systems that might be open to attack by hackers, poor password security, as well abnormal activities such as an employee that accesses your network at 2:00 in the morning.  Reports can be generated and regularly scheduled to show a baseline security posture, identify new vulnerabilities, and to demonstrate improvements over time. Security monitoring can range from basic hosted firewall monitoring services to large-scale SIEM (Security Information & Event Management) solutions.  These products differ widely in the number and kinds of devices that can be watched, the frequency and depth of security scans, and the level of analysis and support provided.  Finding the right solution involves the type of data stored on your network, regulatory requirements, and your tolerance for risk.  Please [contact us](https://www.integrityts.com/contact-us/) to learn more about how security monitoring and reporting can help you address compliance needs and to fix vulnerabilities before they become a security breach.    [![Free IT Risk Assessment](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2136188/aae02338-659b-4518-9409-5f4205dee996.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2136188/aae02338-659b-4518-9409-5f4205dee996) [Network Infrastructure](https://blog.integrityts.com/topic/network-infrastructure) ### Leave a Reply ## Read On ### [How To Build A Business Case For Manufacturing IT Projects Without Overcomplicating It](https://blog.integrityts.com/manufacturing-it-business-case/) Manufacturing IT projects are easier to justify when you stop treating them like technology... ### [Manufacturing Cybersecurity Without The Jargon: A Plain-English Guide For Operations Leaders](https://blog.integrityts.com/manufacturing-cybersecurity-plain-english/) Manufacturers don’t need a cybersecurity program built around buzzwords.
