## Use case

Google Cloud access tends to grow project by project, and nobody sees it whole. Hydden collects Google Cloud users and their 2-Step Verification status, and matches each one to the person behind it.

## Why it matters

Cloud access with no owner and no second factor is an easy way in. Hydden shows where it is.

## How it works

1. **1. Collect from Google Cloud** Users and their 2-Step Verification status.
2. **2. Join the identity record** Each Google Cloud user is matched to the same person's other accounts.
3. **3. Spot the risk** Users without a second factor, or who have left, stand out.

## Screens and documentation

The Google Cloud data source is available to all customers. Add it like any other source in Hydden.

**Need configuration detail?** Technical documentation is available to customers after sign-in.

## Key benefits

Let's say John, a cloud security lead, runs his company's data platform on Google Cloud. He wants to know who can reach it without a second factor. Here is what Hydden does.

1. Collects the users from Google Cloud.
2. Shows each user beside their other accounts.
3. Lists the ones with no second factor, so John can follow up.
