Version Number: v1.0.1 Published Date: 9 Apr 2024 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Insufficient logging and monitoring are supported through manual testing as the logging data should be handled in the backend rather than being user-controllable, however insufficient monitoring has slight automation in the detection of logging that is user controllable in which case this can lead to a pollution of misinformation that may be parsed or abused to target an analyst reviewing the logs. In an ideal world Edgescan should not have access to any data that will present this vulnerability.   - [Getting Started](https://kb.edgescan.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Quick Start Checklist](https://kb.edgescan.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#quick-start-checklist) -
