Auditing events for Security and Compliance Center

Auditing events for Security and Compliance Center

As a security officer, auditor, or manager, you can use the Activity Tracker service to track how users and applications interact with the Security and Compliance Center service in IBM Cloud.

Activity Tracker records user-initiated activities that change the state of a service in IBM Cloud. You can use this service to investigate abnormal activity and critical actions and to comply with regulatory audit requirements. In addition, you can be alerted about actions as they happen. The events that are collected comply with the Cloud Auditing Data Federation (CADF) standard. For more information, see the getting started tutorial for Activity Tracker.

You must use a paid plan for the Activity Tracker service to see events for the Security and Compliance Center.
