Objects can be public.GCP`name`: Name of the GCP Bucket.`region`: Region where the GCP bucket is available.`labels`: Labels as key value pair used with GCP Buckets.`storageClass`: Valid Storage Class for GCP are: “STANDARD”, “NEARLINE”, “COLDLINE”, and “ARCHIVE”`access`: “private”, “public”	Optional. If explicit, this will be used to narrow down a scan to file events that match the conditional for object store attributes. The attributes listed here pertain to the container/store of objects. For example, for AWS it would be buckets, for Azure it would be StorageAccount etc. If blocklist is true => won’t scan, return here; if allowlist is true => go to next conditional.
`objectConditional`	JSON array of object	AWS `name`: Name of the object.`key`: Path to the object, including the Object name.`owner`: Owner name of the AWS object.`contentType`: The mimeType as determined by AWS.`storageClass`: Valid storage class for AWS are “STANDARD”, “REDUCED_REDUNDANCY”, “STANDARD_IA”, “ONEZONE_IA”, “INTELLIGENT_TIERING”, “GLACIER”, “DEEP_ARCHIVE”, “OUTPOSTS”`serverSideEncryption`: Server side encryption available in AWS, has to be one of “AES256”, “aws:kms”.`extension`: FileExtension of the object.`access`: “private”, “public”GCP:`name`: Name of the object.`key`: Path to the object including the Object name.`owner`: Owner name of the GCP object.`contentType`: The mimeType as determined by GCP.`extension`: FileExtension of the object.`access`: “private”, “public”	Optional.

If blocklist is true => won’t scan, return here; if allowlist is true => send for scan.
`dlp.profileNames`	string	Array of strings	Optional. Must be an existing DLP profile name. `iaas_storage_dlp_enabled` must be enabled. Can be an empty array. Cannot be used with `tss.profileNames`.
`tts.profileNames`	string	Array of strings	Required if `dlp.profileNames` is not provided. Must be an existing Threat Protection profile name. `iaas_storage_dlp_enabled` must be enabled. Can be an empty array. Cannot be used with `dlp.profileNames`.
`enabled`	boolean	`true \| false`	Required. Use `true` to enable the policy. User `false` to disable the policy.
`maxScanFrequency`	string	`3h \| 6h \| 12h \| 24h \| 7d \|30d`	Optional. Determines how frequent to re-scan any resource (e.g. object), which can be used to manage scan costs.
`notify`	object	`interval`: Time interval between notifications. `to_users`: Groups of users who will get notified. `emails`: Email addresses of additional users to notify. `from_user`: Email address from which the email will be sent.	Details for email notification.
