Overview of the Google Cloud Security Command Center
1. Overview of the Google Cloud Security Command Center
It would be very difficult for cloud security teams to meet all of their organization, compliance, and security standards manually. This is where cloud technology can help make so many day-to-day tasks —that all need to get done— more manageable and effective. And with this technology, a security team’s work just got a little lighter. In this video, we’ll explore how Google Cloud Security Command Center can provide teams assistance to maintain and manage their security posture and compliance. Let’s get started. Security Command Center is Google Cloud's centralized vulnerability and threat reporting service. It evaluates an organization's security and data attack surface, provides asset inventory and discovery, and identifies misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and threats. Some benefits of Security Command Center include improving security posture, detecting and uncovering threats, and assessing and managing risk. Security Command Center can improve security posture by identifying security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in your Google Cloud environment and helps resolve them with actionable recommendations. It can detect and uncover threats with specialized detectors built into the Google Cloud infrastructure. And it can assess and manage risk using attack path simulation to discover and shut down possible pathways that threat actors can use to access and compromise cloud resources. The key features of Security Command Center are threat prevention, threat detection, and attack path simulation. First is threat prevention. Threat prevention determines whether an organization’s Google Cloud has the expected security posture. Threat prevention can also uncover misconfigurations and find common web application vulnerabilities to quickly resolve issues with best practices. Second is threat detection. Threat detection protects an organization’s resources by detecting threats to cloud services like Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, and more. Third is attack path simulation. Attack path simulation helps pinpoint where and how an organization’s Google Cloud environment could be attacked. The simulation can provide an organization a way to analyze vulnerable paths to valued resources, and prioritize the right preventative security controls. Google Security Command Center is just one of several tools you might find in your role on a cloud security team. The right tools for an organization’s needs will help reduce risk and maintain compliance in the cloud.2. Let's practice!
