The rule 'GCP Resource in Unused Region' is designed to detect the creation of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resources (such as Compute Engine instances and Cloud Storage buckets) in geographic regions that are deemed unused. This detection is crucial as adversaries may exploit these regions to launch cloud instances, thereby evading security monitoring and detection efforts. The rule operates on GCP Audit Logs and is currently disabled. Its execution relies on specific log types to ascertain whether resources are being provisioned in these potentially problematic geographic areas. If such an operation is detected, further investigation is warranted, particularly against the user making the resource request. The rule acknowledges the need for configuration management to prevent resources from being deployed in regions that do not align with organizational policies or compliance requirements. Essential details include a recommended validation of the user's identity and actions undertaken, which may involve checking against an internal list of approved regions.
