Security Logging and Monitoring Failures

Without proper logging and monitoring, breaches cannot be detected and responded to effectively.

What to Log

• Authentication events (success and failure)
• Access control failures
• Input validation failures
• Server-side errors
• API usage patterns

Best Practices

• Log sufficient context for forensics
• Ensure logs are tamper-resistant
• Implement real-time alerting
• Use centralized log management
• Regularly review and test monitoring systems
