Ensure a log metric filter and alarm exist for AWS Management Console sign-in without MFA
AWS-0148
Service: cloudwatchSeverity: low
OfficialBuilt-inVerified
You can do real-time monitoring of API calls by directing CloudTrail logs to CloudWatch Logs and establishing corresponding metric filters and alarms. CIS recommends that you create a metric filter and alarm console logins that aren't protected by MFA. Monitoring for single-factor console logins increases visibility into accounts that aren't protected by MFA.
