Selected Answer: C
C Findings detected by GuardDuty GuardDuty uses your log data to uncover suspected instances of malicious or high-risk activity. Detective provides resources that help you investigate these findings. For each finding, Detective provides the associated finding details. Detective also shows the entities, such as IP addresses and AWS accounts, that are connected to the finding. You can then explore the activity for the involved entities to determine whether the detected activity from the finding is a genuine cause for concern. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/detective/latest/userguide/investigation-phases-starts.html

The question was "What should the security team do to obtain this information?". In fact when you use Detective to investigate action for this CloudTrailLoggingDisabled finding in GuardDuty opens the finding’s profile page, you will to see what other actions they performed after disabling logging. Please see this link - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/analyze-and-understand-iam-role-usage-with-amazon-detective/. The correct answer is C.

Since Detective receives a copy of CloudTrail traffic directly from the AWS infrastructure, Detective will continue to receive API calls that are made after CloudTrail logging is disabled.
