Continuous security monitoring identifies and responds to threats in real time. Firewalls and web application firewalls ( WAFs ) filter network traffic. Encryption: Encrypting data and cloaking it in a secure, unreadable format both during transit (through protocols such as SSL/TLS) and at rest prevents unwanted access.
