What C9: Implement Security Logging and Monitoring requires
OWASP Top 10 Proactive Controls 2024, C9: Implement Security Logging and Monitoring. Logging is a concept that most developers already use for debugging and diagnostic purposes. Security logging is an equally basic concept: to log security information during the runtime operation of an application. This is one of the OWASP Top 10 Proactive Controls (2024 edition), the OWASP Foundation's list of the ten most important security techniques that every software architect and developer should build into every project. Where the OWASP Top 10 enumerates the most critical web application security risks, the Proactive Controls enumerate the defensive techniques that prevent them. Organizations should treat this control as a design requirement, an implementation checklist, and a continuous-verification obligation, supported by a security policy, automated testing in the CI/CD pipeline, developer training, and incident response.

An example of a common logging framework is the Apache Logging Services which helps provide logging consistency between Java, PHP, .NET, and C++ applications.'
- OWASP Top 10 Proactive Controls 2024, C9 Implement Security Logging and Monitoring, Implementation: 'Do not log too much or too little. For example, make sure to always log the timestamp and identifying information including the source IP and user-id, but be careful not to log private (such as username) or confidential data (such as business data) unless extra care is taken.'
