Cloud Logging and Monitoring Gaps

Vulnerability Details

Severity:

Medium

Category:

Cloud

Description

Cloud infrastructure lacks comprehensive logging and monitoring, with services like CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, or equivalent not enabled across all regions and accounts.

Risks

Security incidents may go undetected. Without proper logging, forensic investigation becomes impossible, and compliance requirements may not be met. Attackers can operate unnoticed for extended periods.

Remediation

Enable cloud audit logging (CloudTrail, Cloud Audit Logs) across all regions and accounts. Enable VPC flow logs. Centralize logs in a SIEM. Implement alerting for suspicious activities. Protect log storage from tampering.
