A system monitor is a security program tasked with maintaining system integrity from internal threats such as gridbugs, rogue programs and viruses.
Flynn moved Tron, a security program from the ENCOM, mainframe to the TRON system to act as head of system security and maintain order. After the emergence of the ISOs, Clu and some system monitors performed terrorist attacks against ISO areas of the Grid. Eventually the remaining system monitors were repurposed into sentries, designed by Clu as a personal military force to control the Grid's populace following the coup d'etat against Kevin Flynn.
