Explanation

Continuous security monitoring is the ongoing, real-time process of collecting, analyzing, and reviewing security data to verify that security controls are deployed correctly and functioning as intended. It provides sustained visibility into the security posture of an organization. Log audits (A) are periodic and retrospective - they review what already happened rather than providing ongoing assurance. System hardening (B) is a preventive configuration task, not a monitoring function. IPS/IDS (C) detects and prevents specific intrusion events but does not provide broad visibility into whether all controls are working. Only continuous monitoring addresses the ongoing verification of control effectiveness across the entire environment.
