Log Monitoring for Threat Detection: Your 24×7 Security Radar
Every digital interaction—from API calls to database queries—creates a log entry. When collected and analyzed continuously, these logs become a powerful weapon against cyberattacks.
How It Strengthens Security
- Early Anomaly Detection: Spot unusual login patterns, privilege escalations, or sudden spikes in network traffic before they turn into incidents.
- Forensic Investigation: Detailed log history helps security teams trace attack vectors and understand root causes.
- Compliance & Governance: Frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR require reliable log retention and monitoring.
Best Practices
- Centralized Logging – Consolidate logs from servers, containers, microservices, and cloud providers into a single dashboard.
- Structured & Enriched Data – Add metadata (IP, user ID, geolocation) to speed up analysis.
- Real-Time Alerting – Set up automated alerts for abnormal behaviors, failed logins, or policy violations.
- Retention & Rotation – Define policies to store critical logs securely while optimizing storage costs.
- Integrate with SIEM – Tools like Splunk, ELK/Elastic Stack, Datadog, Graylog, and AWS CloudWatch enhance correlation and threat intelligence.
Why It’s Critical for DevSecOps
In CI/CD environments, code changes are rapid. Continuous log monitoring ensures that security keeps pace with development, detecting threats as quickly as features ship.
