Default Logging

Per impostazione predefinita non verrai catturato solo per aver eseguito azioni di lettura. Per ulteriori informazioni, controlla la sezione Logging Enum.

Add Excepted Principal

In https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/audit/allservices e https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/audit è possibile aggiungere i principali per non generare log. Un attaccante potrebbe abusare di questo per evitare di essere catturato.
