This document describes a threat finding type in Security Command Center. Threat findings are generated by
threat detectors when they detect
a potential threat in your cloud resources. For a full list of available threat findings, see Threat findings index.
Overview
If you share your Google Workspace logs with Cloud Logging,
Event Threat Detection generates findings for several Google Workspace
threats. Because Google Workspace logs are at the organization level,
Event Threat Detection can only scan them if you activate Security Command Center
at the organization level.
Event Threat Detection enriches log events and writes findings to
Security Command Center. The following table describes a Google Workspace
threat finding type, the MITRE ATT&CK framework
entry related to this finding, and details about the
events that trigger this finding. You can also check logs using specific filters,
and combine all of the information that you gather to respond to this finding.
This finding isn't available if you activate Security Command Center at the project
level.
Description
Actions
The SSO settings for the admin account were changed.
SSO settings for your organization were changed. Verify
whether the change was done intentionally by a member or if it was
implemented by an adversary to introduce new access to your organization.
