Why Google Cloud Security?
As cyber threats and risks continue to evolve, robust security is no longer just an IT issue—it’s imperative for business success and continuity. Disruptions, data breaches, and attacks can lead to significant financial losses, reputational damage, regulatory problems, and legal liability. The threat landscape is only intensifying, with phishing, malware, and ransomware attacks growing more sophisticated and capable of evading traditional defenses.
In this ever-evolving digital environment, Google continues to keep more people and organizations safe online than anyone else in the world—billions of users and millions of websites globally. Make Google part of your security team with Mandiant frontline experts, intel-driven security operations, and a secure cloud platform supercharged by AI. Organizations can address their tough security challenges with many of the same capabilities Google uses to keep more people and organizations safe online than anyone else in the world: frontline intelligence and expertise, a modern, intel driven security operations platform, and a secure-by-design cloud foundation. AI enhances all of these components, personalizing intelligence for your business, automating manual tasks, and assisting security professionals in effectively addressing complex cases.
Increase Resilience Against Potential Attackers with Mandiant Experts and Frontline Google Threat Intelligence
One of Google clouds security products is called “Google Threat Intelligence” and it can equip organizations with real-time intelligence regarding potential attackers and provide capabilities to bolster operational resilience against these attacks. These can empower customers to confidently navigate and operate in the digital landscape. It combines insights from Mandiant’s incident response expertise and threat analysis with Google’s vast visibility from running billion-user internet services. Additionally, crowd-sourced intelligence from VirusTotal, the world’s largest threat observatory, provides a vast database of malware samples and a powerful engine for analyzing suspicious files and URLs. AI enhances threat intelligence capabilities by quickly summarizing reports and frontline analysis, distilling relevant insights, and customizing them to each organization’s unique security needs. Google Threat Intelligence makes its security insights actionable at scale and leverages real-world experience to continually help improve security for our customers. In 2023, Mandiant helped over 1,800 customers prepare for or recover from the most critical cybersecurity incidents and get back to business quickly.
Detect, Investigate, and Respond to Threats Quickly With an Intel-Driven Security Operations Platform.
Google Security Operations Chronicle platform integrates Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), and Mandiant threat intelligence into a unified experience. With Google cloud Security Operations, security teams can effectively uncover recent threats in near real-time, investigate threats with rich context, and respond to threats with velocity and precision. Chronicle automatically groups contextually related alerts into a single threat-centric case, which can allow even a single analyst to efficiently investigate and respond to a threat. With this capability, Chronicle continues to illustrate rapid growth and coverage, with customers creating over 500K threat detections with detection coverage growing at 20% per month. Furthermore, based on interviews with customers from around the world, IDC determined that Google Cloud’s SecOps platform delivers ROI of 407% over three years, with a payback period under 7 months, according to a Google Cloud commissioned IDC study published in January 2024.
With Gemini in Security Operations, Google Cloud is the first cloud provider to make gen AI generally available in a unified SecOps platform. Google Cloud is offering AI assistance first in Chronicle, where users can search vast amounts of data in seconds with custom queries generated from natural language, reduce time-consuming manual reviews, quickly surface critical context by leveraging automatic summaries of case data and alerts, and improve response time using recommendations for next steps to support incident remediation. Already, Gemini in Security Operations reduces analyst time spent writing, running, and refining searches and triaging complex cases by 7x.
Safeguard your Cloud Transformation and Support Digital Sovereignty Requirements with a Secure Cloud Platform.
Google Cloud provides a secure cloud platform to run your business on—core infrastructure that is designed, built, and operated with security in mind. According to cloudvulndb.org, a community-based website tracking cloud vulnerabilities and security issues, since 2020, Google Cloud has had 75% fewer critical and high severity security issues than Azure, and nearly 60% fewer than AWS. They provide customers with a constantly expanding array of security controls and capabilities you can use to help support policy, regulatory, and business objectives. Google sovereign cloud solutions support many customers’ digital sovereignty needs, including needs for data residency, locally-managed infrastructure, and disconnected operations. Furthermore they operate in a “shared fate” model. This means that they take an active stake in the security posture and outcomes of our customers. They openly share best practices through the Office of the CISO, such as the Secure AI Framework, to help collaboratively safeguard AI technology.
Finally, generative AI across the platform can help address common security challenges. Security Command Center, Google Cloud’s centralized vulnerability and threat reporting service, helps customers take a proactive approach to fix cloud misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and threats. Gemini in Security Command Center identifies potential attack paths and provides suggested next steps to remediate issues or update policies. Google have also expanded this technology to the other hyperscalers with a true multi-cloud offering. With Security Command Center Premium you can not only protect your google infrastructure but also your AWS and Azure infrastructure at the same time.
