Summary
The detection rule titled 'AWS Cloud Provisioning From Previously Unseen IP Address' is designed to detect anomalous AWS provisioning activities originating from IP addresses that have not been previously encountered. This rule leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to monitor events whose names begin with 'Run' or 'Create', indicating provisioning actions. The rule identifies these events by examining the 'sourceIPAddress' and cross-referencing it with previously seen addresses to determine if the activity is coming from a new IP. The final results include timestamps of the events, user identities, the IP address involved, and the event name, which help assess whether the activity could be suspicious based on its novelty. The search is considered deprecated, as its functionality has been incorporated into a newer Change Data Model to improve performance and efficiency.
