Initial Access: Account Disabled Hijacked

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.

Finding description

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 contains Google Workspace threats, relevant MITRE ATT&CK framework entries, and details about the events that trigger findings. You can also check logs using specific filters, and combine all of the information to respond to Google Workspace threats.

This finding isn't available if you activate Security Command Center at the project level.
