name: AWS Multi-Factor Authentication Disabled

|
description: The following analytic detects attempts to disable multi-factor authentication
|
|
(MFA) for an AWS IAM user. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to identify events where
|
|
MFA devices are deleted or deactivated. This activity is significant because disabling
|
|
MFA can indicate an adversary attempting to weaken account security, potentially
|
|
to maintain persistence using a compromised account. If confirmed malicious, this
|
|
action could allow attackers to retain access to the AWS environment without detection,
|
|
posing a significant risk to the security and integrity of the cloud infrastructure.
|
|
data_source:
|
|
- AWS CloudTrail DeleteVirtualMFADevice
|
|
- AWS CloudTrail DeactivateMFADevice
|
|
search: '`cloudtrail` (eventName= DeleteVirtualMFADevice OR eventName=DeactivateMFADevice)
|
|
| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by src eventName eventSource
|
|
aws_account_id userAgent eventID awsRegion user_name userIdentity.arn status | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
|
|
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `aws_multi_factor_authentication_disabled_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: The Splunk AWS Add-on is required to utilize this data. The search
|
|
requires AWS CloudTrail logs.
|
|
known_false_positives: AWS Administrators may disable MFA but it is highly unlikely
|
|
for this event to occur without prior notice to the company
