You Can’t Defend What You Can’t See: Why Event Logging Matters

Published on Monday, 6 October 2025 at 1:42:35 PM

October marks Cyber Security Awareness Month, and this week’s focus is on Event Logging, a critical component of any robust cyber security strategy. As the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) reminds us:

“You can’t defend what you can’t see.”

Event logging acts as a constant spotlight on your network, ensuring that suspicious activity doesn’t lurk in the shadows.

 

Why Event Logging Is Essential

  • Detect Hidden Threats: Effective logging helps identify anomalies and malicious activity that might otherwise go unnoticed.
  • Stop Cyber Criminals in Their Tracks: Without proper logging, attackers gain an “invisibility cloak,” moving undetected through systems.
  • Build Resilience: Logging provides visibility, enabling faster incident response and compliance with security standards.
