description: |
Ensure Amazon CloudTrail trails log S3 data events to monitor object-level operations like GetObject, DeleteObject, and PutObject.
impact: |
Without logging S3 data events, you lose visibility into object-level operations which could help detect unauthorized access or modifications.
remediation: |
Enable data event logging in CloudTrail for S3 buckets to ensure detailed activity monitoring and logging for better security and compliance.
