Re: You hit it right on
Unfortunately, I think a lot of the times logging is used more for a compliance checkbox or to troubleshoot an issue and less to support the security objective.

I've noticed two commonalities:

1) Too many logs are collected and there isn't AI correlation to make sense of it efficiently so it becomes noise.

or 

2) Logging isn't set up in the right places so when an event does happen the security unit is blind to it.
