AN1636 Analytic 1636
IaaS · attack.mitre.org · ATT&CK Enterprise v19.2
<p>Detects exploitation of IaaS cloud security boundaries to evade defense controls. Defender perspective includes anomalous API calls that bypass audit logging, disable monitoring, or manipulate guardrails (e.g., CloudTrail tampering). Correlation highlights when exploitation attempts precede sudden absence of expected telemetry.</p>

Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| AWS:CloudTrail | StopLogging, DeleteTrail, UpdateTrail: API calls that disable or modify logging services | DC0038 Application Log Content |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
CriticalAPIs | List of sensitive cloud API operations that should be rare and tightly monitored. |
TimeWindow | Duration for correlation of API exploitation with sudden logging gaps. |
