Symptom
Alert ID/Entity has resource name "hidden_due_to_security_reasons".
GUI Path: Alerts Overview > Excess login failures
Environment
- Prisma Cloud Enterprise
- Alerts
Cause
The "HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS" is coming from AWS CloudTrail events.
Resolution
AWS did this based on security consideration to avoid data leakage.
As a security best practice, AWS does not log the entered user name text when a sign-in failure is caused by an incorrect user name.
The user name text is masked by the value “HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS”.
