A09:2025 — Security Logging and Monitoring Failures

Verified by Precogs Threat Research
OWASP Web 2025Rank #9

What are Logging and Monitoring Failures (OWASP A09:2025)?

Insufficient logging, detection, monitoring, and active response. Without these, breaches cannot be detected in a timely manner. Most breach studies show time to detect exceeds 200 days.

Impact

Mean time to detect a breach is 212 days (IBM). Without proper logging, attackers maintain persistence indefinitely. Compliance frameworks (PCI-DSS, HIPAA) mandate audit logging.
