Monitoring, Auditing, and Logging Users and Resource Usage in AWS IAM

In this hands-on lab scenario, you are a security engineer working for a new startup that's launching an online bookstore for rare and antique books. The founder, Kia, needs your help with monitoring and auditing the activities in her account. In order to provide access and ensure the proper security measures are in place, you will use AWS Identity & Access Management (IAM) and AWS CloudTrail. You will provide Kia with the credential report, the details from the Access Advisor tab, and you will create a trail using CloudTrail.
