Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Low
Likelihood Level Low

Description

Integrity Monitoring is disabled for Shielded GKE nodes in your Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster configuration. This means the system won't detect or alert on unauthorized changes to node boot or runtime state, reducing protection against tampering.

Impact

If an attacker compromises a node, malicious changes could go undetected, making it harder to spot or respond to security breaches. This weakens the cluster's defenses and may allow attackers to maintain persistence or escalate privileges without detection.
