T1538 Cloud Service Dashboard Mappings

An adversary may use a cloud service dashboard GUI with stolen credentials to gain useful information from an operational cloud environment, such as specific services, resources, and features. For example, the GCP Command Center can be used to view all assets, findings of potential security risks, and to run additional queries, such as finding public IP addresses and open ports.(Citation: Google Command Center Dashboard)

Depending on the configuration of the environment, an adversary may be able to enumerate more information via the graphical dashboard than an API. This allows the adversary to gain information without making any API requests.

Comments
The "mfa-enabled-for-iam-console-access" managed rule checks whether multi-factor authentication is enabled for all AWS IAM users that use a console password, protecting against misuse of those accounts' dashboard access. It is run periodically, and provides significant coverage, resulting in an overall score of Significant.

Comments
This control may protect against cloud service dashboard abuse by segmenting accounts into separate organizational units and restricting dashboard access by least privilege.
