A community-driven collection of pre-built security analytics queries and rules for auditing and threat detection in Google Cloud.
Community Security Analytics (CSA) is an open-source repository of pre-built security analytics queries and detection rules for Google Cloud. It helps organizations analyze cloud logs to audit usage and detect potential threats by providing a rich baseline of community-contributed samples. The project addresses the need for foundational detective controls in cloud security operations.
Detection engineers, threat hunters, and data governance analysts working with Google Cloud who need to implement security monitoring and threat detection. It's also valuable for security teams building or enhancing their cloud security analytics capabilities.
Developers choose CSA because it provides a ready-to-use, community-vetted starting point for security analytics, reducing the time and effort required to build detection rules from scratch. Its integration with Google Cloud services like BigQuery and Security Operations, along with automation tools, offers a practical and extensible foundation.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Offers YARA-L rules for Google Security Operations and SQL queries for BigQuery/Log Analytics, providing a ready-to-use baseline that accelerates threat detection setup.
Covers six security categories including IAM, network activity, and data usage, giving a broad starting point for auditing and detecting common Google Cloud threats.
Includes Dataform pipelines for BigQuery and CI/CD scripts for Google Security Operations, enabling automated deployment and testing to streamline operations.
Open-source with contributions welcome, allowing the analytics to evolve with community input and stay relevant to emerging threats.
Explicitly labeled as a starting point in the README, it lacks coverage for all possible threats and requires significant customization and additional rules for production use.
Designed specifically for Google Cloud logs and services, making it unsuitable for hybrid or multi-cloud environments without major adaptations.
Demands configuration of BigQuery, log exports, and other Google Cloud services, which can be time-consuming and complex for teams new to the ecosystem.
Community-supported without warranties or Google backing, posing risks for organizations needing reliable support and updates for critical security operations.
