Users that Accessed Account in the Past Week

Overview

The "Users that Accessed Account in the Past Week" widget highlights users who have logged into their AWS accounts in the past week. This can help track active users and ensure that access levels are appropriate for users who are regularly engaging with resources.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. User Activity Monitoring:

   • Provides insight into active users, helping ensure that only authorized users have ongoing access to the system.

2. Security Hygiene:

   • Helps track user engagement, ensuring that accounts with access to sensitive resources are regularly monitored.

3. Audit and Compliance:

   • Provides visibility into active accounts, which is important for auditing and ensuring compliance with security standards.

For Security Engineers:

1. Risk Assessment:

   • Regularly active users are less likely to be compromised or forgotten. This widget helps ensure that only necessary users are actively accessing critical resources.

2. Incident Detection:

   • Helps detect abnormal behavior by identifying users who access the system regularly, allowing for quicker identification of unauthorized access.

3. Compliance:

   • Ensures that user access aligns with organizational policies for operational and security compliance.
