The rule identifies when the recording of AWS API calls and log file delivery for a specified AWS CloudTrail is suspended, which may indicate an adversary's attempt to evade detection and cover their tracks. It targets AWS CloudTrail logging actions, specifically monitoring the usage of the `StopLogging` API call. This rule is crucial for maintaining governance and security posture by ensuring that unexpected log suspensions are investigated, potentially pointing to malicious activities. The rule functions by querying event logs for successful outcomes of the `StopLogging` action, thereby facilitating timely alerts for suspicious alterations in logging behavior. Thorough investigations should follow upon detection, including verifying the user accounts involved and assessing if such actions align with the organization’s change management policies. Protocols for response and remediation are outlined to ensure any incidents are adequately addressed while minimizing impact.
