Hunting Hypotheses

Hypothesis	Telemetry	ATT&CK Stage	FP Risk
Monitor cloud audit logs for the creation of new IAM roles, users, or access keys intended for third-party integrations to ensure they are strictly scoped to the required destination buckets.	Cloud Audit Logs (AWS CloudTrail, GCP Cloud Audit Logs, Azure Activity Logs)	N/A	High
