<p>We=E2=80=99re writing to provide you with security best practices regard=
ing the management of service account keys and API keys within your <strong=
>Google Cloud</strong> environment.</p>

<p>Recent security trends indicate that long-lived credentials without prop=
er security best practices remain a top security risk for unauthorized acce=
ss. To ensure your environment remains secure, and to modernize your authen=
tication strategy, we strongly advise implementing the unified security fra=
mework outlined below.</p>

<h3>What you need to do</h3>

<p><strong>Action advised:</strong></p>

<p><strong>Secure the credential lifecycle:</strong> Apply standard securit=
y hygiene by following these best practices:</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Zero-Code Storage:</strong> Never commit keys to source code =
or version control. Use <a href=3Dhttps://c.gle/AHvOEDm9XXJZNxWXVxDQ9lTTomu=

keys</strong></a> and decommission any that show no activity over the last =
<strong>30 days</strong>.</li>
  <li><strong>Enforce API Restrictions:</strong> Never leave an API key unr=
estricted. Limit keys to specific APIs (e.g., <strong>Maps Java Script</str=

rs, or bundle IDs).</li>
  <li><strong>Apply Least Privilege:</strong> Never give full permissions t=
