# Security event logging and monitoring in Accelerate
Security event logging and monitoring

Accounts enrolled in AMS Accelerate are configured with a baseline deployment of CloudWatch [Events](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/WhatIsCloudWatchEvents.html) and [Alarms](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/AlarmThatSendsEmail.html) that have been optimized to reduce noise and to identify indications of a true incident. AMS Accelerate also employs GuardDuty for account monitoring. For more information, see [Monitor with GuardDuty](acc-sec-data-protect.md#acc-sec-data-protect-gd).
