GCP cloud_hardware_security_module_(hsm) Mappings

Google Cloud's Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a security feature available under Google Cloud Key Management Service that allows customers to host encryption keys and perform cryptographic operations in a FIPS 140-2 level 3 certified environment.

Mappings

Capability ID Capability Description Category Value ATT&CK ID ATT&CK Name Notes
cloud_hardware_security_module_(hsm) Cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM) protect partial T1552 Unsecured Credentials
Comments
Google Cloud's HSM may protect against adversary's attempts to leverage unsecured credentials found on compromised systems. Variations of this technique are difficult to mitigate, so a partial score was granted for this control's medium to high coverage factor.
References
cloud_hardware_security_module_(hsm) Cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM) protect partial T1553 Subvert Trust Controls
Comments
Google Cloud's HSM may protect against adversary's attempts to undermine trusted controls and conduct nefarious activity or execute malicious programs. Variations of this technique are difficult to mitigate, so a partial score was granted for this control's medium to high coverage factor.
References
cloud_hardware_security_module_(hsm) Cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM) protect partial T1588.003 Code Signing Certificates
Comments
Google Cloud's HSM may protect against adversary's attempts to compromise code signing certificates that can used during targeting to run compromised code and other tampered executables. Variations of this technique are difficult to mitigate, so a partial score was granted for this control's medium to high coverage factor.

cloud_hardware_security_module_(hsm) Cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM) protect partial T1588.004 Digital Certificates
Comments
Google Cloud's HSM may protect against adversary's attempts to compromise digital certificates that can used to encrypt data-in-transit or tamper with the certificate owner's communications. Variations of this technique are difficult to mitigate, so a partial score was granted for this control's medium to high coverage factor.

cloud_hardware_security_module_(hsm) Cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM) protect partial T1552.004 Private Keys
Comments
Google Cloud's HSM may protect against adversary's attempts to compromise private key certificate files (e.g., .key, .pgp, .ppk, .p12). Variations of this technique are difficult to mitigate, so a partial score was granted for this control's medium to high coverage factor.

cloud_hardware_security_module_(hsm) Cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM) protect partial T1552.001 Credentials In Files
Comments
Google Cloud's HSM may protect against adversary's attempts to leverage passwords and unsecure credentials found in files on compromised systems.Variations of this technique are difficult to mitigate, so a partial score was granted for this control's medium to high coverage factor.

cloud_hardware_security_module_(hsm) Cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM) protect partial T1588 Obtain Capabilities
Comments
Google Cloud's HSM may protect against adversary's attempts to obtain capabilities by compromising code signing certificates that will be used to run compromised code and other tampered executables. Variations of this technique are difficult to mitigate, so a partial score was granted for this control's medium to high coverage factor.
