Security Considerations in ALB Logging & Monitoring

🔐 Ensuring Secure Application Access

  • By capturing client IPs and request patterns, SecureCart can detect suspicious activity, such as brute force login attempts or unusual API traffic.

  • Solution: Integrate ALB logs with Amazon GuardDuty to identify potential security threats.

🔐 Detecting Anomalous Traffic & Potential Attacks

  • ALB logs help identify DDoS attacks, SQL injection attempts, or malicious traffic.

  • Solution: Use AWS WAF to create rules that block or rate-limit abnormal traffic.

🔐 Enhancing Compliance & Auditability

  • Logs stored in S3 ensure that SecureCart meets regulatory compliance (PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA) by maintaining an audit trail of all HTTP requests.

  • Solution: Use Amazon Macie to scan logs for sensitive data exposure and AWS Config to enforce log retention policies.
