Security is an integral part of database operations on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. Your organization should ensure that it monitors database user activities and connections to detect potential security incidents and risks. This pattern helps you monitor your databases for security and troubleshooting purposes, which is a process known as database auditing.
This pattern provides a SQL script that automates the creation of an Amazon Athena table and views for a reporting dashboard in Amazon QuickSight that helps you audit Amazon Redshift logs. This ensures that users responsible for monitoring database activities have convenient access to data security features.
