Description

Integrity monitoring is disabled for Shielded GKE node pools, which means the nodes are not being checked for unauthorized changes or tampering. This weakens the security of the Kubernetes cluster.

Impact

If integrity monitoring is off, attackers could compromise or alter node configurations without detection, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data breaches, or persistence of malicious activity within your GKE cluster.
