Why this log source is critical for security visibility
Endpoint security logs provide critical visibility into activities occurring on systems where sensitive data resides. They are essential for detecting malware execution, fileless attacks, credential theft, and persistence mechanisms.
Endpoint logging can impact system performance if not properly configured. Start with critical systems and gradually expand coverage while monitoring performance impacts.
