Google Cloud

Sectona supports the discovery of assets in the Google Cloud Platform by using Google Cloud Discovery. It provides real-time visibility and inventory of Google Cloud assets. The discovery refreshes according to a schedule set by the user. Ensure the account has permissions at the root server level to ensure all target assets are discoverable. If you assign permissions on a folder in the target environment, you will only see the contained assets if permissions are also defined on the parent resource pool. As a best practice, it is recommended that the account be given read-only access.

Refer section Configuring Credentials for more details before executing this discovery scan.

Requirement	Description
Credential	This discovery method also requires Service Account Key. Refer to Creating and managing service account keys for this activity. Recommended permission for Google Service Account with Read Permissions.
