GCP Virtual Private Cloud Network Deletion

Elastic Detection Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule identifies deletions of Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks within Google Cloud Platform (GCP), an action which can significantly affect network and operational integrity. Adversaries might delete VPC networks to disrupt services or hide their activities. The detection mechanism leverages audit logs to monitor for successful deletions noted by the action `v*.compute.networks.delete`, ensuring that both the action type and outcome are scrutinized. The rule specifies conditions under which deletions are flagged to aid investigations and improve incident response. By correlating deletion events with user accounts and potential other malicious activities, defenders can ascertain the legitimacy of the deletions and act accordingly. The documentation outlines steps for investigation, potential false positives, and response strategies, emphasizing the importance of validating each incident within the GCP environment to differentiate between authorized actions and potential intrusions.
