The detection rule for AWS PutEventSelectors focuses on monitoring the API calls made to AWS services relating to event logging configurations via CloudTrail. This function, PutEventSelectors, enables users to configure which events are captured in CloudTrail logs, allowing for a nuanced approach in tracking user activities and service interactions within an AWS environment. Specifically, threat actors may exploit this function to suppress logging of certain critical actions or to inundate the logs with less significant events, thereby obscuring malicious activities. The detection rule captures instances where PutEventSelectors is invoked, signaling that the logging strategy may have been altered, which is a potential indicator of an attempt to evade security monitoring. The rule leverages CloudTrail logs to identify and report such changes based on defined parameters, a crucial element in maintaining AWS security integrity.
