Overview

Amazon CloudWatch is AWS's centralized monitoring and observability service that collects metrics, logs, and events from AWS resources and applications, enabling dashboards, alarms, and automated responses. In cybersecurity, it serves as a critical data source for detecting anomalous activity and investigating incidents within AWS environments, since many security-relevant signals are exposed as CloudWatch metrics and logs. The recent cryptomining campaign targeting EC2 and ECS underscores the platform’s importance for visibility into cloud workloads and rapid detection of misuse.
