Key Kubernetes audit logs for monitoring cluster security

Kubernetes is a popular platform for deploying containerized applications, but securing Kubernetes environments as you scale up can be challenging due to the increased attack surface. Monitoring audit logs can help detect and mitigate misconfigurations or abuse of Kubernetes resources before confidential data is compromised. Key types of Kubernetes audit logs to monitor include access to your Kubernetes environment, changes to Kubernetes resources, and user and service account activity. Datadog offers a built-in Kubernetes audit log integration for real-time tracking of environment activity and threat detection rules that automatically monitor audit logs and identify critical security issues in environments.
