This rule detects attempts to export an AWS EC2 instance, specifically when the 'CreateInstanceExportTask' event is logged in AWS CloudTrail. This action can be an indicator of an adversary attempting to exfiltrate data from a compromised EC2 instance by exporting it as a virtual machine image. The rule specifically looks for successful export task creations, filtering out events that contain error messages or codes, or indicate a 'Failure' in the response elements.

This rule detects attempts to modify or delete findings and insights within AWS SecurityHub. Adversaries may do this to evade detection by removing or altering security alerts generated by SecurityHub, thereby hindering defensive mechanisms and obscuring their activities. The rule specifically looks for 'BatchUpdateFindings', 'DeleteInsight', 'UpdateFindings', and 'UpdateInsight' events originating from 'securityhub.amazonaws.com'.
