Traceability Loss - API Gateway

Description

Some AWS API Gateway instances do not enable the logging feature, discarding information that can be managed by other AWS services such as Cloudwatch to detect possible system anomalies

Impact

Lose traceability of events of interest to detect potential security breaches

Recommendation

- Enable the logging feature for all the API gateway instances
- Set a destination for the log files using other log services such as CloudWatch or Cloudtrail

Threat

Authenticated attacker from the Internet with access to the AWS console

Expected Remediation Time

⌚ 20 minutes.
