A Practical Continuous-Monitoring Playbook

Continuous monitoring only works when signal beats noise. Most SOCs drown in alerts because every detection is treated as equally urgent.

A tiered model fixes this: tier one auto-remediates known-good responses, tier two pages a human with full context, tier three is informational and feeds threat hunting.

This playbook covers the thresholds, runbooks, and escalation paths we deploy so analysts spend their time on the alerts that matter.
