AWS CloudTrail Event Coverage

AWS CloudTrail introduces Event Coverage, a new console experience that provides visibility into data plane operations coverage at the account and organization level. This feature helps you identify gaps in your logging posture without manually scanning accounts in your organization.

Data events enable you to track data plane operations in AWS services, such as logging Amazon S3 object-level operations like GetObject and PutObject to detect unauthorized data access or exfiltration attempts. With Event Coverage, you can view coverage across all supported data event sources in one place and subscribe to data events directly from the dashboard.

What to do

  • Access Event Coverage from the AWS CloudTrail console.
  • Subscribe to data events directly from the dashboard to close coverage gaps.
  • Visit the AWS CloudTrail documentation to learn more about logging Data Events.
