Access Trail security service
Access Trail is an IBM service that allows you to monitor security within an IBM Cloud environment.
Note
This service is in beta at the time of writing this book.
Access Trail uses API call monitoring as the mechanism to monitor the IBM Cloud. When using the Access Trail service, all API calls in the IBM Cloud are monitored and any suspicious or unusual API activity is detected. Remedial measures to prevent the security breaches are carried out by preventing the specific API activity in the IBM Cloud environment. The Access Trail service captures API call logs, which is later used for filtering and monitoring the API call activity in the IBM Cloud. All APIs from IBM Cloud runtimes, services, applications, and user activity are logged.
