Goal

Detect AWS root user activity.

Monitor CloudTrail and detect when any @userIdentity.type has a value of Root, but is not invoked by an AWS service or SAML provider.

Determine if the root API Call: {{@evt.name}} is expected.
If the action wasn’t legitimate, rotate the credentials, enable 2FA, and open an investigation.

For compliance, check out the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark controls documentation.
