Cloudtrail should be configured to capture every API call.

Coundtrail may be the first target of a bad actor:

    • Disablining cloud trail is often a top prioirty of bad actors to "cover their trcks"
    • The best way to prevent manimulation of log files is through the use of an SCP - Service control policy.
      • The SCP can be pushed down from the top if multiple accounts are involced.


Another method is to stop the ability to turn off cloudtrail:

    • This is done by choosing YES to "enable log file validtion" when you crete or update a cloud trail.
