Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing network security monitoring in a computer network. In an embodiment, network configuration data may be gathered and processed by a data collector from a plurality of network devices within the computer network. An agent residing on a client device within the computer network may collect network configuration data on the client device and provide the collected network configuration data to the data collector. The network configuration data may be provided to a data analyzer for analysis. A privileged authentication even may then be detected on the client device, and live collection of network metadata related to the detected privileged authentication event may be initiated on the client device upon detecting the privileged authentication event. The network metadata may be provided to the data analyzer for analysis.
