Detection: VPC Deleted
Overview
Detect when a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) was deleted in an AWS account. Unauthorized or unplanned VPC deletions can result in the loss of critical resources, disrupt services, and compromise network architecture. Monitoring VPC deletions ensures operational continuity and protects against potential mismanagement or malicious activity.

Usage
Run the detection in your terminal:
powerpipe detection run aws_cloudtrail_log_detections.detection.vpc_deletedSnapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
powerpipe loginpowerpipe detection run aws_cloudtrail_log_detections.detection.vpc_deleted --shareSQL
This detection uses a named query:
select tp_timestamp as timestamp,string_split(event_source, '.')[1] || ':' || event_name as operation,request_parameters ->> 'vpcId' as resource,user_identity.arn as actor,tp_source_ip as source_ip,tp_index as account_id,aws_region as region,tp_id as source_id,*
from aws_cloudtrail_logwhere event_source = 'ec2.amazonaws.com' and event_name = 'DeleteVpc' and error_code is null
order by event_time desc;
