Not using customer-supplied encryption keys (CSEK) for VM disks, despite GCP's default encryption, may lead to the following potential issues: Limited Control: Customers cannot manage key rotation, revocation, or access policies independently. Compliance Issues: May fail to meet regulatory requirements that mandate customer-controlled encryption. Increased Dependency: Full reliance on GCP for encryption increases risk if their system is compromised. Reduced Customization: Cannot define tailored encryption policies to meet specific security needs. Insider Threat Risk: Relying on GCP-managed keys may expose data to potential internal misuse. Cloud Exit Challenges: Migrating data securely to another provider becomes more complex without CSEK. Weaker Perception: Stakeholders may view the lack of CSEK usage as a security lapse.
