Insufficient Logging & Monitoring

medium
A09:2021CWE-778Operations

What is No Monitoring?

Without adequate logging and monitoring, breaches go undetected for extended periods, allowing attackers to persist, escalate, and exfiltrate data.

How it works

Organisations lack logging of authentication events, access control failures, input validation failures, and other security-relevant events. Without monitoring and alerting, attacks are discovered only after significant damage.

Impact

Extended breach dwell time (average 287 days), greater data loss, higher remediation costs, and regulatory penalties for failure to detect and report breaches promptly.

How ShieldReport detects this

ShieldReport evaluates logging capabilities by checking for security event headers, error handling patterns, and monitoring endpoint availability.

How to fix it

Log all authentication, access control, and input validation failures. Implement centralized log management with alerting. Establish incident response procedures. Use ShieldReport's continuous monitoring for early detection.
