As a cloud service, access to the AWS console authentication page is open to the world. With the availability of authentication open to the world, attackers will attempt a variety of techniques to get in. Luckily, accounts provisioned by CUIT use our central authentication service (CAS), with accounts conforming to a password policy as well as 2 factor authentication. Despite the controls in place, the best recommendations are strong passwords for your UNI. It's the greatest defense to mitigate this risk and attack platform.
CUIT checks for the presence of multiple login attempts in a short time frame. If a CUIT account were to have been compromised with an attacker gaining credentials, they would most likely continually access the console. By routinely monitoring access, we would be able to catch this and notify the account owner that they need to change their password.
