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.
