As organizations extend their infrastructure and workloads into the cloud domain, monitoring hybrid environments, including on-premise, is even more important than before from a security perspective.
To meet these needs, the three major cloud platforms – Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud – have specific monitoring tools.

The need for audit logging tools is driven by the increasing complexity and accelerating speed of expansion of cloud-native environments.
A mere patchwork of point security operations is no longer sufficient to protect all expanding attack surfaces.

However, having audit logs alone is not enough to ensure security, and the logs themselves must be optimally utilized with an understanding of the audit logging mechanisms of the cloud services being used.
The same is true for the de facto standard container orchestration tools, and if you are using a web application, utilizing its authentication logs is also essential for strengthening security.

What exactly are some of the high-definition monitoring practices in the audit logs of major cloud-native environments?
The benefits of using third-party monitoring tools as well as the original tools will be explained to help you get the most out of your authentication logs.
