BlockSec Research released a material on the role of latency in the operation of blockchain monitoring tools. The focus is on the difference between millisecond-level response and later analysis of an event that has already occurred.

According to the publication synopsis, response speed determines whether the system can perform verification before the transaction propagates across the network or can only analyze it after the fact.

The practical takeaway from the material is that when evaluating such tools, it is important to consider not only the fact of detection but also the moment it occurs. Details on specific products, tests, and measured values are not provided in the available source.
