💼 4.3 Ensure usage of 'root' account is monitored - Level 1 (Manual)

• ID: /frameworks/cis-aws-v2.0.0/04/03

Description

Real-time monitoring of API calls can be achieved by directing CloudTrail Logs to CloudWatch Logs, or an external Security information and event management (SIEM) environment, and establishing corresponding metric filters and alarms.

It is recommended that a metric filter and alarm be established for 'root' login attempts to detect the unauthorized use, or attempts to use the root account.
