With the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) integration, Plerion uses service account keys to connect to your projects and run Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) scans. This provides continuous visibility into misconfigurations and other security issues, with findings displayed in your dashboards for monitoring and remediation.

About the GCP integration

Plerion integrations connect your GCP projects to the platform so risks across your cloud footprint can be continuously assessed and reported.
  • Complete visibility
    The more GCP projects you integrate, the more accurate and comprehensive your risk reporting becomes. Each integration feeds findings into Plerion’s dashboards, where you can filter and analyze results by project.
  • Cloud-native and secure
    Integrations use service account keys with least-privilege permissions. Plerion is agentless, so setup is fast and requires minimal effort.
  • Service account access
    Each integration requires a service account key that Plerion uses to scan your projects. This key underpins the findings and insights generated by the platform.
