AWS CloudTrail SES Check Identity Verifications

Panther Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule monitors AWS CloudTrail logs for events associated with Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) identity verification checks. Specifically, it looks for the event name 'GetIdentityVerificationAttributes', which indicates a request to retrieve verification status for specified email identities. This rule is categorized under the Management event type and is read-only, meaning it doesn't modify any resources, but only queries their state. The rule triggers on successful identification retrieval, which is important for detecting actions related to email domain verification status changes that could indicate reconnaissance or phishing attempts. Regular examination of identity verification events helps in identifying unauthorized access to email identity controls. The log entries indicate the event time, region, source IP, user agent, and various request parameters. This rule does not create alerts upon detection but logs events for further auditing and compliance verification. The severity level is classified as 'Info', and it is designed for environments utilizing AWS services, specifically to ensure secure identity management within Amazon SES.
