Cloud Storage Creation refers to the initial creation of a new cloud storage resource, such as buckets, containers, or directories, within a cloud environment. This action is critical to track as it might indicate the legitimate provisioning of resources or unauthorized actions taken by adversaries to stage, store, or exfiltrate data. Examples:
- AWS S3 Bucket Creation: An AWS user creates a new S3 bucket using the
CreateBucket API call. - Azure Blob Storage Container Creation: A user creates a new container in Azure Blob Storage using the
Create Container operation. - Google Cloud Storage Bucket Creation: A Google Cloud user creates a new bucket using
storage.buckets.create. - OpenStack Swift Container Creation: A user creates a new container in OpenStack Swift using the
PUT method.
