Baselining Definition: Establishing normal operational patterns to detect anomalies
Baselining in cybersecurity involves establishing a known secure state of an IT environment documenting normal patterns of network traffic system performance user behavior and security configurations. This documented normal state serves as a reference point allowing security teams to identify anomalies deviations or potential security incidents by comparing current system states against the established baseline.
