Preview: Asset Insights
We just delivered 8 types of Asset Insights through the Active Assist platform. Asset Insights is to proactively detect potential risks in your asset configurations and settings. The initial set of Asset Insights are all focusing on identifying anomalies within your organization’s IAM policies, which may be opportunities for improving security pasture. The insights can be aggregated from the Organization, Folder or Project level.
The 8 types of Asset Insights are:
External members in IAM policies.
External users that impersonate your service accounts.
External member as policy editors.
External users who can view cloud storage buckets.
Terminated users/groups that are still in IAM policies
IAM policies containing all users or all authenticated users.
Open cloud storage objects.
Projects with only terminated users as owners.
Please fill in this Sign up form to sign up for the Private Preview release. Once signed up, please expect 1-2 business days for your request to be approved. For more on how to use the API and Insights, see the User Guide.
