## What it is
Forseti Security is a collection of open-source tools for auditing and improving the security of Google Cloud Platform environments, including inventory scanning, policy enforcement, and violation alerting. The repository was archived by Google in mid-2023 and is now read-only with no further support.

## Use cases
- audit my gcp project for security misconfigurations
- monitor google cloud resources for policy violations
- scan gcp iam permissions for excessive access
- get alerts when cloud security rules are broken
- enforce security policies across gcp organization
- inventory all resources in my google cloud environment

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted GCP security auditing tool and are willing to own and maintain a fork yourself
- you want to study or extend an open-source GCP security scanner

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with vendor support - the project is archived and read-only
- you want current GCP security features - use Google's native Security Command Center instead
- you expect community fixes or new releases

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: security, monitoring, vulnerability-scanning, alerting
- domain: security, cloud-computing
- platform: python, cloud, self-hosted
- tags: google-cloud-platform, gcp, security-audit, compliance, policy-enforcement, archived, devops
