OWASP Top 10 –
A09: Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
-Security logging and monitoring failures occur when applications and systems do not adequately record, monitor, or alert on suspicious activities. Without proper visibility, attackers can remain undetected, increasing the impact of security breaches and
delaying incident response.
Key Risks:
• Undetected unauthorized access
• Delayed breach detection and response
• Lack of forensic evidence during investigations
• Increased business and reputational damage
Best Practices:
✅ Enable comprehensive logging
✅ Monitor security events in real time
✅ Configure alerts for suspicious activities
✅ Regularly review and retain logs securely
