What is access log monitoring?
Access log monitoring is recording who signed in to or used a system, and when, then reviewing those records for suspicious activity. Examples include logins from unusual places, repeated failures, or privilege changes. Reviews can be done by people, automated alerts, or a SIEM.
What the buyer is really asking
Would anyone notice suspicious access? Explain what gets logged, where the logs go, and who or what reviews them.
Other ways buyers ask it
Every one of these wants the same answer:
- “Do you log and monitor access to systems?”
- “How are access logs reviewed?”
- “Do you alert on suspicious login activity?”
Evidence to have ready
- The log sources collected for authentication and access
- Alert rules for suspicious access
- The review cadence and owner
