Detection: VPC Internet Gateway Detached
Overview
Detect when a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) internet gateway was detached. Internet gateways are essential for enabling internet connectivity for VPC resources, and their detachment can disrupt operations or indicate potential misconfigurations or malicious activity. Monitoring these events ensures resource availability and security.

Usage
Run the detection in your terminal:
powerpipe detection run aws_cloudtrail_log_detections.detection.vpc_internet_gateway_detachedSnapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
powerpipe loginpowerpipe detection run aws_cloudtrail_log_detections.detection.vpc_internet_gateway_detached --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 = 'DetachInternetGateway' and error_code is null
order by event_time desc;
