CLOUD LOGGING FOR SECURITY AND BEYOND

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

This is a guide on cloud logging best practices for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It emphasizes the importance of balancing security, compliance, and cost when selecting logging strategies. The guide distinguishes between control plane logging (default for management) and data plane logging (which requires manual activation for service activities), categorizing logs into audit, compute, network, secrets, storage, database, and Kubernetes types. Organizations should prioritize logging based on business, regulatory, and security needs, avoiding the costly "log everything" approach.
