Automated Email Notifications and Security Monitoring for Cloud Storage Access using Cloud Function

To monitor a specified Google Cloud Storage bucket for any changes or accesses made to its contents. When an access or change is detected, the cloud function will automatically send an email notification to a specified email address with information about the access or change, including the time of access, the user who accessed the data, and the specific data that was accessed. The paper represents the Google Cloud Platform services, which includes Cloud Storage and Cloud Functions. The Cloud Function will be triggered by a Cloud Storage whenever an object is accessed. The Cloud Function will then parse the notification message and extract the relevant information, such as the object name and access time, and send an email notification. The automated email notification system will help cloud storage administrators monitor access to their storage buckets, identify potential security breaches or unauthorized access, and take appropriate action in a timely manner. It also provides a record of all access activity, which can be useful for audit purposes and compliance requirements.
