How Adaptive works with AWS CloudWatch

Use Adaptive's AWS CloudWatch integration to stream access logs and audit events from Adaptive to CloudWatch for centralized monitoring.

Use AWS CloudWatch with Adaptive to give security operations, compliance and incident response teams a governed workflow for Adaptive access events and audit records. Instead of relying on manual log exports and disconnected evidence collection, teams get identity-aware controls and a connected record for review.

Adaptive forwards access and session events to the monitoring destination so security teams can search, correlate, alert on and retain them.

Every request is evaluated against the organization's existing monitoring, retention and alerting workflows. Teams can then use evidence covering access requests, approvals, sessions and policy events without piecing together identity, approval and resource records from separate systems.
