Control: Ensure a log metric filter and alarm exist for IAM policy changes

Description

You can do real-time monitoring of API calls by directing CloudTrail logs to CloudWatch Logs and establishing corresponding metric filters and alarms. Security Hub recommends that you create a metric filter and alarm for changes made to IAM policies. Monitoring these changes helps ensure that authentication and authorization controls remain intact.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.log_metric_filter_iam_policy

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.log_metric_filter_iam_policy --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

log_metric_filter_iam_policy
