Summary
The rule is designed to detect the renewal of a previously suspended user account in Google Workspace, which could indicate unauthorized access attempts by an adversary. Suspended accounts are often used by administrators to revoke access temporarily while transferring data or processing account deletions. The detection leverages event logs to identify actions related to the UNSUSPEND_USER event and requires scrutiny of the event's context, the administrator who executed it, and any activities following the account's reinstatement. This rule is critical for maintaining secure access controls within an organization, as adversaries could exploit such renewals to regain access to sensitive information.
