Zabbix is an open source monitoring platform designed to track the availability, performance, and integrity of IT environments. It monitors networks along with servers, virtual machines, applications, services, databases, websites, and cloud resources. For cybersecurity professionals, this visibility matters because operational issues and security incidents often overlap. Early signs of compromise can surface as performance changes, service failures, or unusual system behavior that monitoring tools detect first.
