Chapter 11: Insufficient Logging and Monitoring

Attacks on ASP.NET Core web applications can happen at any given moment in time. Developers must empower their security teams to reconstruct an incident by generating adequate logs from web applications. Logging the right information will help determine an event's details and identify critical data for auditing purposes. The downside of failing to log key security information prevents security teams from producing proper analysis or reports. Too much logging, however, can lead to sensitive data exposure. Applying a necessary and immediate response to act on such security events is only possible through active monitoring. Developers must enable monitoring in the logs that our ASP.NET Core web applications generate for a more real-time defense.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following recipes:

• Fixing insufficient logging of exceptions
• Fixing insufficient logging of database (DB) transactions
• Fixing...
