Continuous monitoring is the mechanism by which CISOs stay ahead of threats, vulnerabilities, and operational failures. In this episode, we unpack what it means to implement and sustain continuous monitoring programs at the enterprise level. You’ll learn how to define monitoring objectives, select appropriate technologies like SIEMs and dashboards, and set thresholds for alerting and escalation. We also cover the role of log management, event correlation, and behavior analytics in proactively identifying control failures or threat indicators.

From a strategic perspective, continuous monitoring is about real-time visibility and agility. You’ll discover how monitoring supports compliance, incident response, and program governance—especially in fast-moving, cloud-first, or heavily regulated environments. The CCISO exam often integrates monitoring concepts into questions on auditing, incident detection, and risk reporting. This episode provides the depth and context needed to understand continuous monitoring as a foundational pillar of modern enterprise security.
