Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I start seeing my GCP environments in Cloud Security (InsightCloudSec)?
After your organizations and projects are connected to Cloud Security (InsightCloudSec), Rapid7 uses the harvesting process to pull data from GCP.
What do I do after my projects are being harvested?
Cloud Security (InsightCloudSec) harvesting is the term we use to describe the process of data collection from a selected cloud service provider (CSP) within Cloud Security (InsightCloudSec). Check out our Harvesting Overview documentation to understand the basics and refer to Harvesting Strategies for details on specific strategies.
After Cloud Security (InsightCloudSec) is harvesting at least one GCP project, you’re free to configure additional GCP features as necessary to enhance, optimize, or further secure your experience, like GCP Least Privileged Access (LPA) or CloudVM. You may also want to review GCP Additional Configuration.
How can I optimize harvesting?
Cloud Security (InsightCloudSec) offers Event-Driven Harvesting, which requires additional configuration but optimizes harvesting by only pulling in new data when certain Azure events occur. Review our GCP Event-Driven Harvesting documentation for more information.
