  Story leverage the recent cloud updates to the Authentication data model to help
  you stay aware of and investigate suspicious login activity. '
narrative: 'It is important to monitor and control who has access to your cloud infrastructure.
  Detecting suspicious logins will provide good starting points for investigations.
  Abusive behaviors caused by compromised credentials can lead to direct monetary
  costs, as you will be billed for any compute activity whether legitimate or otherwise.\

  This Analytic Story has data model versions of cloud searches leveraging Authentication
  data, including those looking for suspicious login activity, and cross-account activity
  for AWS.'
