Amazon Detective
Detective uses machine learning and purpose-built visualizations to help you to analyze and investigate security issues across your Amazon Web Services (Amazon Web Services) workloads. Detective automatically extracts time-based events such as login attempts, API calls, and network traffic from CloudTrail and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) flow logs. It also extracts findings detected by Amazon GuardDuty.
The Detective API primarily supports the creation and management of behavior graphs. A behavior graph contains the extracted data from a set of member accounts, and is created and managed by an administrator account.
To add a member account to the behavior graph, the administrator account sends an invitation to the account. When the account accepts the invitation, it becomes a member account in the behavior graph.
Detective is also integrated with Organizations. The organization management account designates the Detective administrator account for the organization. That account becomes the administrator account for the organization behavior graph. The Detective administrator account is also the delegated administrator account for Detective in Organizations.
The Detective administrator account can enable any organization account as a member account in the organization behavior graph. The organization accounts do not receive invitations. The Detective administrator account can also invite other accounts to the organization behavior graph.
Every behavior graph is specific to a Region. You can only use the API to manage behavior graphs that belong to the Region that is associated with the currently selected endpoint.
The administrator account for a behavior graph can use the Detective API to do the following:
The organization management account can use the Detective API to select the delegated administrator for Detective.
The Detective administrator account for an organization can use the Detective API to do the following:
An invited member account can use the Detective API to do the following:
All API actions are logged as CloudTrail events. See Logging Detective API Calls with CloudTrail.
We replaced the term "master account" with the term "administrator account". An administrator account is used to centrally manage multiple accounts. In the case of Detective, the administrator account manages the accounts in their behavior graph.
detective( config = list(), credentials = list(), endpoint = NULL, region = NULL )
config: Optional configuration of credentials, endpoint, and/or region.
credentials :
creds :
profile : The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
anonymous : Set anonymous credentials.
endpoint : The complete URL to use for the constructed client.
region : The AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
close_connection : Immediately close all HTTP connections.
timeout : The time in seconds till a timeout exception is thrown when attempting to make a connection. The default is 60 seconds.
s3_force_path_style : Set this to true to force the request to use path-style addressing, i.e. http://s3.amazonaws.com/BUCKET/KEY.
sts_regional_endpoint : Set sts regional endpoint resolver to regional or legacy https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html
credentials: Optional credentials shorthand for the config parameter
creds :
profile : The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
anonymous : Set anonymous credentials.
endpoint: Optional shorthand for complete URL to use for the constructed client.
region: Optional shorthand for AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
A client for the service. You can call the service's operations using syntax like svc$operation(...), where svc is the name you've assigned to the client. The available operations are listed in the Operations section.
