AWS re:Invent 2015 | (SEC318) AWS CloudTrail Deep Dive

Ever wondered how can you find out which user made a particular API call, when the call was made, and which resources were acted upon? In this session, you will learn how to turn on AWS CloudTrail for hundreds of AWS accounts in all AWS regions to ensure you have full visibility into API activity in all your AWS accounts. We will demonstrate how to use CloudTrail Lookup in the AWS Management Console to troubleshoot operational and security issues and how to use the AWS CLI or SDKs to integrate your applications with CloudTrail.

We will also demonstrate how you can monitor for specific API activity by using Amazon CloudWatch and receive email notifications, when such activity occurs. Using CloudTrail Lookup and CloudWatch Alarms, you can take immediate action to quickly remediate any security or operational issues. We will also share best practices and ready-to-use scripts, and dive deep into new features that help you configure additional layers of security for CloudTrail log files.
