Unusual API activity, such as sudden spikes in API requests or unauthorized access to root accounts, is a critical indicator of potential AWS security breaches.
Monitoring AWS CloudTrail logs is essential for detecting unauthorized access attempts and understanding API usage patterns, allowing for timely security responses.
Guard Duty can automatically flag suspicious API activity, but security professionals must actively monitor logs for effective security management.
AWS recommends minimizing the use of root account access, as any unauthorized use can indicate a significant security threat.
