Table for Unconfigured Data Events Logging in CloudTrail Trails

Category	Details
Definition	Data events capture object-level API activity (e.g., S3 object access, Lambda function invocation).
Unconfigured Logging	When data events logging is not enabled, CloudTrail does not log these activities.
Risks	Lack of visibility into data access, potential undetected unauthorized or malicious activities.
Impacted Services	AWS S3, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and other services with object-level APIs.
Key Indicators	Absence of specific logs for actions like GetObject, PutObject, or InvokeFunction.
Mitigation Steps	Enable data events logging in CloudTrail for the relevant trails.
Configuration Steps	1. Open CloudTrail console. 2. Select a trail. 3. Enable data events for the target resources.
Best Practices	1. Regularly review and enable data events for sensitive resources. 2. Use IAM policies to restrict access to critical resources.
Compliance	Essential for meeting compliance standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, or SOC 2.
Additional Tools	AWS Config, Security Hub, or third-party monitoring tools for visibility and alerts.
