What does this PR do?
Adds a new GCP attack technique
gcp.impact.ransomware-gcs-client-side-encryptionthat simulates a sophisticated ransomware attack by downloading GCS objects, encrypting them with AES-256-GCM client-side, re-uploading as.encfiles, and deleting the originals.Motivation
GCP parity effort with existing AWS techniques (analogous to
aws.impact.s3-ransomware-client-side-encryption).Checklist
Test results
storage.objects.create+storage.objects.delete) — there is no audit log emitted for GCS object operations without non-default Data Access audit log configuration; volume-based detection would likely yield too many false positives given typical GCS usage at scale
