Preface
The goal of this article is to provide an overview of the two event types supported by the different SkyFormation Cloud Connectors. The SkyFormation "Audit Event" and "Detection Event".
Each SkyFormation Cloud Connector extracts events from the cloud service log files and APIs,
and send them to the relevant organization’s security system for any need. The events being sent to the security system by the cloud connector will have one of two SkyFormation event type detailed below.
The SkyFormation platform admin could decide which of the two type of events she wishes to be sent into the Organization's security system (e.g. SIEM, central log, Splunk or else).
Each event type is used for different security or compliance functions. Please see below for more details.
