When cloud logs fall short, the network tells the truth

When cloud logs fall short, the network tells the truth

Cloud migrations often create visibility blind spots, and network-layer telemetry combined with Network Detection and Response (NDR) provides consistent, provider-agnostic visibility for detecting threats in multi- and hybrid-cloud environments. The article recommends enabling flow logs and traffic mirroring, standardizing and enriching telemetry with cloud inventory, and tuning baselines to detect threats such as coinminer beaconing, stolen credentials, and suspicious interactive admin activity. #Corelight #Kubernetes

Keypoints

  • Cloud migrations introduce dynamic infrastructure and blind spots that require real-time traffic visibility.
  • Network-layer telemetry is a common denominator that overcomes inconsistent cloud-native logs across providers.
  • Corelight’s NDR delivers consistent, real-time detection and normalized telemetry across multi- and hybrid-clouds.
  • Monitor east‑west and north‑south traffic, container communications, TLS metadata, DNS, and both flow logs and packet captures.
  • Operationalize visibility by enabling flow logs and traffic mirroring, enriching telemetry with cloud inventory, tuning baselines, and hunting for coinminers, infostealers, and suspicious admin activity.
