Control: GCP > CIS v2.0 > 1 - Identity and Access Management > 1.12 - Ensure API Keys Only Exist for Active Services

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 2

API Keys should only be used for services in cases where other authentication methods are unavailable. Unused keys with their permissions in tact may still exist within a project. Keys are insecure because they can be viewed publicly, such as from within a browser, or they can be accessed on a device where the key resides. It is recommended to use standard authentication flow instead.
