Goal

Detect when unauthorized activity by a user is detected in Google Cloud.

Strategy

Monitor Google Cloud logs and detect when a user account makes an API request and the request returns the status code equal to 7 within the log attribute @data.protoPayload.status.code. The status code 7 indicates the user account did not have permission to make the API call.

Triage and response

  1. Investigate the user:{{@usr.id}} that made the unauthorized calls and confirm if there is a misconfiguration in IAM permissions or if an attacker compromised the user account.
  2. If unauthorized, revoke access of compromised user account and rotate credentials.
