Anomaly Detection

Monitoring & Logging

Without proper visibility, breaches can go undetected for months. Logging API activity is critical for forensics and anomaly detection.

Data Privacy Warning

Never log raw API request/response bodies that contain PII (Personally Identifiable Information), passwords, session tokens, or credit card numbers. Sanitize and mask logs before they are ingested into your SIEM.
  • Log all authentication failures, access control denials, and rate limit triggers.
  • Implement User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to detect anomalous usage patterns (e.g., a single user scraping thousands of records).
