Policy: GCP > CIS v2.0 > 1 - Identity and Access Management > 1.14 - Ensure API Keys Are Restricted to Only APIs That Application Needs Access

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. API keys are always at risk 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 restrict API keys to use (call) only APIs required by an application.
