GCP Dashboard

Copy page

Dashboard summarizes the security posture of the scanned GCP environments in the selected scan.


Risk Pane (GCP Dashboard)

This Risk Pane summarizes key risk metrics from the scan, including the overall Risk and Exposure Scores, Tier 0 Identities, Dangerous Paths, Shadow Admins, and severity levels (Critical to Info). It breaks down risks by:

  • MITRE ATT&CK Tactics (e.g., Persistence, Privilege Escalation)
  • Tags (e.g., Identity Governance, Account Security)
  • Impacts (e.g., Privileged Role Assignment, Service Account Ownership Abuse)
  • GCP Entity Types (e.g., GCPUser, GCPGroup, GCPServiceAccount, GCPServiceAccountKey, GCPOrganization, GCPFolder, GCPProject, GCPDevice, GCPRole)

This layout helps quickly identify high-risk areas and prioritize remediation actions within GCP environments.

The Tier 0 Identities card is shown when the scan policy enables the Tier0 Analysis module for GCP. The Tier Analysis Statistics and Top Choke Points sections below the entity cards are described on the Dashboard page.

Risk Breakdown by Tags, Impacts and Entity Types

Risk Breakdown by Tags, Impacts and Entity Types

Risk Breakdown by Tags: Risk scores based on Tags.

Risk Breakdown by Impacts: Risk scores based on Impacts.

Risk Breakdown by Entity Types: Risk scores based on GCP Entity Types.


GCP Entity Pane

Dashboard Entity Pane

The header of each card shows the total number of objects of that type, for example Users (5), and the Structure card shows each count next to its name.

Users Table

Statistic Description
Shadow Admin Users The number of GCP user accounts that have administrative privileges indirectly, without being explicitly assigned an admin role.
Privileged Users The number of privileged GCP user accounts.
Risky Users The number of GCP user accounts that have a risk score greater than 50.

Service Accounts Table

Statistic Description
Inactive Service Accounts The number of GCP service accounts that have not been used or active in a defined period.
Privileged Service Accounts The number of privileged GCP service accounts.
Risky Service Accounts The number of GCP service accounts that have a risk score greater than 50.

Groups Table

Statistic Description
Empty Groups The number of GCP groups that have no members.
Privileged Groups The number of privileged GCP groups.
Risky Groups The number of GCP groups that have a risk score greater than 50.

Roles Table

Statistic Description
Custom Roles The number of non-default roles created manually in the GCP environment.
Privileged Roles The number of privileged GCP roles.

Structure

The Structure section provides an overview of the GCP organizational hierarchy and resource layout discovered during the scan.

Entity Description
Organizations The top-level GCP organization node. Represents the root of the GCP resource hierarchy.
Folders Folders used to group projects and apply policies at an intermediate level within the organization.
Projects Individual GCP projects discovered within the organization or folders.
Devices Devices registered in the environment and associated with users or organizational policies.

Service Account Keys Table

Statistic Description
Disabled Keys The number of GCP service account keys that are currently disabled.
Privileged Keys The number of GCP service account keys associated with privileged service accounts.
