ASL AWS Defense Evasion Delete Cloudtrail

splApache-2.0from splunk/security_content

The following analytic detects AWS `DeleteTrail` events within CloudTrail logs. It leverages Amazon Security Lake logs parsed in the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) format to identify when a CloudTrail is deleted. This activity is significant because adversaries may delete CloudTrail logs to evade detection and operate with stealth. If confirmed malicious, this action could allow attackers to cover their tracks, making it difficult to trace their activities and investigate other potential compromises within the AWS environment.
