Security Monitoring is a service that safely protects the customer's service by monitoring external security threats in real time and utilizing an automated security system and specialists that can effectively respond to detected events. Security Monitoring has basic and managed services. Basic is a free security service provided by default to all customers using the NAVER Cloud Platform. Managed is a paid security service that strongly protects the resources of NAVER Cloud Platform customers 24/7, and it has more advanced monitoring and control services than the basic.
