# Real-Time Events

Subscribe to real-time Events published by Salesforce to monitor activity in your org. You can store the event data for auditing or reporting purposes. You can also create transaction security policies by using Condition Builder—a point-and-click tool—or Apex code. You can subscribe to this data from an external data system of your choice.

Real-Time events are captures in near real time. This means that there can be a minor delay from when the event occurred and when you can query it. You can monitor the near-real-time nature of your events. Take the average difference between the EventDate and the CreatedDate fields to see when your events were captured.
