description: The following analytic identifies an attempt to disable multi-factor
authentication for a GCP user. An adversary who has obtained access to an GCP tenant
may disable multi-factor authentication as a way to plant a backdoor and maintain
persistence using a valid account. This way the attackers can keep persistance in
the environment without adding new users.

how_to_implement: You must install the latest version of Splunk Add-on for Google
Workspace from Splunkbase (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5556) which allows
Splunk administrators to collect Google Workspace event data in Splunk using Google
Workspace APIs. Specifically, this analytic leverages the Admin log events.
known_false_positives: Legitimate use case may require for users to disable MFA. Filter
as needed.
