Google Cloud on Tuesday is introducing a range of new security products, for both its private and public sector customers, as they look to respond to the quickly-evolving threat landscape. The new public sector tools will help agencies comply with President Joe Biden's cybersecurity executive order. Meanwhile, other Google Cloud customers will have access to more automated security operations, as well new threat detection capabilities powered by Palo Alto Networks technology.

Rather than "build products that fix problems with other products," he said, Google has focused on building "invisible security" into the cloud. "Invisible security is about making security simple," Potti said. "When you embrace GCP security, you're not just getting a safer environment, but you're simplifying your overall operations."

To that end, Google Cloud is introducing Autonomic Security Operations, a turnkey offering that the company is bringing to the managed security services market in partnership with BT.

Google is also introducing Cloud IDS, a cloud-native, managed Intrusion Detection System that leverages Palo Alto Networks technology to help customers detect malware, spyware, command-and-control attacks and other network-based threats.

In our Cloud, we’ve successfully built advanced, cloud-native defenses from the ground up to serve individuals, governments and businesses around the world at massive scale. We want to bring these innovations to you, in ways that allow your employees, customers and developers to be as productive as ever, with stronger security that’s a frictionless part of everything they do.

Google Cloud Adds Curated Detection to Chronicle
August 18, 2022

Organizations are increasingly relying on threat intelligence data to understand the sheer volume and complexity of security threats. On that note, Google Cloud announced the general availability of the "curated detection" capability for its Chronicle security analysis platform to give organizations insights into the latest security threats.

The new feature, as part of the Chronicle SecOps Suite, pipes Google’s own threat intelligence data into an automated detection service that provides security teams with up-to-date insights on cloud threats -- such as attacks against cloud systems, attempts to exfiltrate data, and misconfigured systems -- and Windows-based attacks -- such as ransomware, remote-access tools (RAT), information stealers, data exfiltration, suspicious activity, and misconfigurations.

The service provides security teams with “high quality, actionable, out-of-the-box threat detection content curated, built, and maintained by the Google Cloud Threat Intelligence team, said Benjamin Chang, a Google Cloud software engineer. "By surfacing impactful, high-efficacy detections, Chronicle can enable analysts to spend time responding to actual threats and reduce alert fatigue."

By adding this capability to Chronicle, Google Cloud is entering the managed detection and response market.
By partnering with managed detection and response service providers, security teams have a shot at quickly identifying, investigating, and responding to threats.

Google Cloud: Announcing curated detections in Chronicle SecOps Suite

A critical component of any security operations team’s job is to deliver high-fidelity detections of potential threats across the breadth of adversary tactics. But increasingly sophisticated threat actors, an expanding attack surface, and an ever-present cybersecurity talent shortage make this task more challenging than ever.

Today, we are putting the power of Google’s intelligence in the hands of security operations teams. We are thrilled to announce the general availability of curated detections as part of our Chronicle SecOps Suite. These detections are built by our Google Cloud Threat Intelligence (GCTI) team, and are actively maintained to reduce manual toil in your team.
