How to detect:

Failed login attempts, password reset spikes, admin access from unusual locations, and other security events are not logged or monitored, preventing detection of attacks in progress.

Recommended action:

Implement logging for failed logins, password reset requests, admin access, and permission denials. Monitor logs for patterns: spikes in failed auth, unusual geolocations, repeated 403s. Set up alerts for anomalies. Minimum questions to answer: failed logins today, password reset spikes, unusual admin access.
