Google Workspace Role Modified or Deleted

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule monitors and alerts when there are modifications or deletions of roles within Google Workspace. It specifically focuses on three types of actions captured in Google Cloud's logging services - the deletion of a role, renaming a role, and updating a role. The rule leverages the admin.googleapis.com service to identify these alterations, which could signify unauthorized changes that may impact access control and admin permissions. Such actions are critical because they could either be benign administrative changes or signs of malicious insiders or external attacks aimed at gaining elevated privileges in Google Workspace environments. It is recommended to review the audit logs and user activities when alerts are triggered to ascertain the context and legitimacy of these changes to maintain proper security hygiene.
