## Goal{% #goal %}

Detect when a [Google Security Command Center](https://cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs) muteconfigs rule was created.

## Strategy{% #strategy %}

Google Security Command Center helps you strengthen your security posture by evaluating your security and data attack surface; providing asset inventory and discovery; identifying misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and threats; and helping you mitigate and remediate risks.

This detection rule detects when a user creates a [rule to mute future findings or mute multiple existing findings](https://cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs/how-to-mute-findings). This could indicate an attacker attempting to hide malicious activity.

## Triage and response{% #triage-and-response %}

1. Investigate the finding to determine if the action was expected.
1. If the finding is deemed malicious, follow the [investigation and remediation guidance](https://cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs/how-to-investigate-threats) provided by Google and also any internal incident response processes.
