RulenameAWSCloudTrail - Monitor AWS Credential abuse or hijacking
DescriptionIdentifies AWS STS `GetCallerIdentity` calls made by assumed-role sessions.

An attacker who has assumed the role of a legitimate account can call the GetCallerIdentity function to determine what account they are using.

A legitimate user using legitimate credentials would not need to call GetCallerIdentity since they should already know what account they are using.
