Description: Unusual Network Traffic refers to any network activity that deviates from normal behavioral patterns, which can indicate a security incident. This type of traffic can manifest in various forms, such as a sudden increase in data volume, connections to unknown IP addresses, or the use of unusual ports. Detecting unusual traffic is crucial for early identification of threats, as it may signal intrusion attempts, malware, or data exfiltration. Organizations use monitoring and analysis tools to establish a baseline of what is considered normal traffic, allowing for the identification of anomalies. The ability to respond quickly to these anomalies is essential for mitigating risks and protecting the integrity of IT infrastructure. In an environment where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, constant monitoring of network traffic has become standard practice in cybersecurity, helping organizations maintain the security of their systems and data.
