Description: Quasi real-time monitoring refers to the ability to oversee events or activities with a slight delay, meaning that information is not received and processed instantaneously, but still approaches immediacy. This type of monitoring is crucial in various technological contexts, including Security Operations Centers (SOCs), where constant surveillance of systems and networks is essential to detect and respond to security threats. Unlike real-time monitoring, which provides instantaneous data, quasi real-time monitoring allows for deeper analysis and data collection at regular intervals, which can be beneficial for identifying patterns and trends over time. Key features of this approach include data collection through automated tools, the ability to generate alerts based on predefined thresholds, and the possibility of conducting forensic analysis after an incident. The relevance of this type of monitoring lies in its ability to balance the need for rapid response with the depth of analysis, enabling security teams to prioritize their efforts and optimize incident management.
