This is one in a series of short, simple J1 queries that will help you interrogate your AWS environments. The JupiterOne platform used to run these queries is free.

In this J1 Query example, we'll check to see if AWS CloudTrail logging is happening in buckets that are unencrypted.

Cut-and-Paste Query

Here's the query you can use to cut-and-paste into your J1 instance. Watch JupiterOne technical expert, Akash Ganapathi, walk through the example query and then display the results in real time. If you find this useful, give us some contact info at the bottom of this page and we'll send you twice a month updates as we continue to explore various environments with JupiterOne. You'll also receive a personal invitation to a hands-on J1 Query Workshop in March.

FIND aws_s3_bucket WITH encrypted!=true
  THAT (LOGS|ALLOWS) aws_cloudtrail
