Building Real-Time Security Monitoring with LiteSOC

Security monitoring shouldn't be an afterthought. In this guide, we'll walk through implementing real-time security monitoring using LiteSOC's powerful event-driven architecture.

Why Real-Time Monitoring Matters

Traditional security solutions rely on periodic scans and batch processing. By the time you discover a breach, the damage is already done. Real-time monitoring changes this paradigm by:

• Instant Detection: Identify threats as they happen, not hours later
• Immediate Response: Trigger automated responses within milliseconds
• Reduced Attack Surface: Stop attackers before they can pivot

Setting Up LiteSOC

First, install the LiteSOC SDK:

npm install @litesoc/sdk

Then initialize the client:

import { LiteSOC } from '@litesoc/sdk';

const litesoc = new LiteSOC({
  apiKey: process.env.LITESOC_API_KEY,
});

Tracking Authentication Events

The most critical events to track are authentication-related:

// Track successful logins
await litesoc.track({
  event: 'login_success',
  userId: user.id,
  metadata: {
    method: 'password',
    mfa_used: true,
  },
});

// Track failed attempts
await litesoc.track({
  event: 'login_failed',
  userId: attemptedUserId,
  metadata: {
    reason: 'invalid_password',
    attempt_count: 3,
  },
});

Behavioral AI Detection

LiteSOC's behavioral AI automatically learns your users' patterns and detects anomalies:

• Impossible Travel: User logs in from New York, then Tokyo 10 minutes later
• Unusual Access Times: 3 AM login for a 9-5 user
• Device Fingerprint Changes: Same account, new device characteristics

Conclusion

Real-time security monitoring is no longer optional for modern SaaS applications. With LiteSOC, you can implement enterprise-grade security in minutes, not months.
