Description: Unusual Network Activity refers to network traffic behaviors that deviate from established norms, which can indicate a security threat. This phenomenon can manifest in various ways, such as a sudden increase in traffic, connections to unknown IP addresses, or access patterns that do not correspond to typical user behavior. Identifying these activities is crucial for early detection of potential cyberattacks, such as intrusions, malware, or data exfiltration. Organizations use monitoring and network analysis tools to establish a baseline of normal behavior, allowing them to detect anomalies. Unusual activity can result from a deliberate attack or an accidental misconfiguration in the network, and its analysis can help security teams respond effectively and mitigate risks. In an environment where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the ability to identify and react to unusual network activity has become an essential component of any organization’s security strategy.
