What are Audit Logs?
Audit logs are records that capture every action taken within your a system. These logs enhance security and ensures that companies stay compliant with audits and regulatory requirements. Audit logs also play a crucial role in maintaining transparency and accountability within a company along with serving as a vital tool for security monitoring, detecting and investigating suspicious activities, resolving unauthorized access attempts, or mitigating potential security breaches.
