Summary
The "GCP Multiple Failed MFA Requests For User" detection analytic is designed to identify potentially malicious activity related to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) access. It focuses on detecting scenarios where a single user experiences ten or more failed multi-factor authentication (MFA) prompts within a condensed time frame of 5 minutes. Such repeated failures can indicate an attacker's effort to bypass MFA by overwhelming the victim with authentication requests. This analytic processes Google Workspace login events, specifically targeting failures related to MFA. Upon triggering, the detection serves as a warning for potential unauthorized access that may compromise user accounts or escalate privileges within the GCP environment, warranting immediate investigation.
