G Suite Activity-Based Alerts

/ / / / /

BetterCloud’s Activity-based Alerting has expanded to encompass activity in Google. Now you can be alerted or take automated actions on your G Suite instance in response to user events.

Alert creation page on BetterCloud software platform, featuring an alert titled "Admin Login Outside IP" for Google. The page includes fields to input details such as the alert's name, description, and associated Google account. Trigger conditions section outlines criteria for detection, including specific IP ranges or geographic locations. Timing thresholds field allows setting time frames and frequency of the trigger events. Interface elements are neatly organized with form fields, dropdown menus, and checkboxes for customization options.

This initial release includes two login Alerts to help you hone in on suspicious activity on your domain:

  • Failed User Login
  • Successful User Login

Scoping these Alerts by IP address will give you insight into which logins are coming from approved addresses, and which ones aren’t. In extreme cases, like a successful login to a compromised account, you may need to take action to lock down access, and ensure that one compromised account doesn’t grow into a full breach. By using the Alerts to trigger Workflows, you can not only identify, but also automatically react to this activity.

We have also released three additional Alerts in beta:

  • File Downloaded By User
  • File Viewed By User
  • Suspicious User Login

To opt in to the beta and use these Alerts, you can contact your Customer Success Manager or email success@bettercloud.com.

Please note: Activity-based Alerting is only available for customers on the Enterprise Plan. For more information on your subscription or to schedule a training session on Activity-based Alerts, please contact your Customer Success Manager or email success@bettercloud.com.
