In the context of alerts, what does RFM stand for?

RFM stands for Real-time File Monitoring in the context of alerts. This term is vital within cybersecurity, particularly when discussing endpoint protection and threat detection services, such as those provided by CrowdStrike Falcon. Real-time File Monitoring refers to the continuous surveillance of file activity on endpoints to detect suspicious changes or behaviors, such as the creation, modification, or deletion of files that could indicate a security incident or potential malware activity.

By employing this real-time monitoring capability, security teams can quickly respond to threats as they occur, thereby minimizing the risk of data breaches or malware exploitation. The effectiveness of this approach is crucial in a dynamic threat landscape where timely detection can significantly impact an organization's overall security posture.
