Cash-flow monitoring is the tracking of money entering and leaving an account over time. It helps a person or business understand available funds, identify expected shortages or delayed payments, and notice activity that does not match normal patterns.
In cyber security, financial dashboards can reveal sensitive information about income, spending, counterparties, and payment schedules. Attackers with access to an account may use those details to target convincing payment fraud or exploit business timing. Defenses include strong, unique passwords, multi-factor authentication, carefully limited account access, and prompt review of unfamiliar transactions or changes to payment details.
