Description

To lower the organization's attack surface, SQL databases should not have public IPs. Private IPs provide improved network security and lower latency for your application.

Recommended Mitigation

Remove instance public IP and assign a private IP instead. To prevent new SQL instances from getting configured with public IP addresses, set up a Restrict Public IP access on Cloud SQL instances Organization policy at: https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/orgpolicies/sql-restrictPublicIp.
