What’s the most difficult question a security operations team can face? For some, is it, “Who is trying to attacks us?” Or perhaps, “Which cyberattacks can we detect?” How do teams know when they have enough information to make the “right” decision? Metrics can help inform our responses …
Building a resilient healthcare ecosystem is not something done within a vacuum. It takes motivated organizations and people working together in a community of trust to build and defend effectively. We believe the more diverse these communities are, the more effective they can be. Last August, Google announced its …
Editor's note : This blog was originally published by Siemplify on October 6, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated many organizations’ timelines to transition to the cloud and advance their digital transformation efforts. The potential attack surfaces for those organizations also grew as newly distributed workforces used unmanaged technologies. While some …
Editor's note : This blog was originally published by Siemplify on April 12, 2022. The success of the modern security operations center, despite the infusion of automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, remains heavily dependent on people. This is largely due to the vast amounts of data a security operations …
As your organization transitions from on-premises to hybrid cloud or pure cloud, how you think about threat detection must evolve as well—especially when confronting threats across many cloud environments. A new foundational framework for thinking about threat detection in public cloud computing is needed to better secure digital …
Shifting left on security with Google Cloud infrastructure The concept of "shifting left" has been widely promoted in the software development lifecycle. The concept is that introducing security earlier, or leftwards, in the development process will lead to fewer software-related security defects later, or rightwards, in production. Shifting cloud …
Grocery shopping has changed for good and Ocado Group has played a major role in this transformation. We started as an online supermarket, applying technology and automation to revolutionise the online grocery space.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on Tuesday announced the completion of the third round of the Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standardization process, and we are pleased to share that a submission (SPHINCS+) with Google’s involvement was selected for standardization. Two submissions (Classic McEliece, BIKE) are being …
When you deploy an application on Kubernetes, it runs as a service account — a system user understood by the Kubernetes control plane. The service account is the basic tool for configuring what an application is allowed to do, analogous to the concept of an operating system user on a …
Organizations in every region and industry are developing APIs to enable easier and more standardized delivery of services and data for digital experiences. This increasing shift to digital experiences has grown API usage and traffic volumes. However, as malicious API attacks also have grown, API security has become an …

Whether workloads are deployed in public clouds, on-premises, or other infrastructure providers, DDoS and Layer 7 attacks target all web applications, APIs, and services. That’s why Google Cloud continues to expand our scope of DDoS and web application firewall (WAF) protection for web applications, APIs, and services with …
As cyberattacks grow in complexity and intensity against cloud customers, they need their cloud providers to play an even more active role in the resiliency of their web applications and APIs. Attacks have evolved from isolated DDoS attempts to far more comprehensive and coordinated techniques, including volumetric flood DDoS …
The adoption of Autonomic Security Operations (ASO) requires the ability to use threat informed decision making throughout the continuous detection and continuous response (CD/CR) workflow. We are excited to facilitate this process by mapping native security capabilities of Google Cloud to MITRE ATT&CK® through our research partnership …
Taking prescription medication at the direction of anyone other than a trained physician is very risky—and the same could be said for selecting technology used to run a hospital, to manage a drug manufacturing facility and, increasingly, to treat a patient for a medical condition. To pick the …
In order to better serve their customers and users, digital applications and platforms continue to store and use sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), genetic and biometric information, and credit card information. Many organizations that provide data for analytics use cases face evolving regulatory and privacy mandates …
At Google, we engage regularly with customers, regulators, policymakers, and other stakeholders to provide transparency into our operations, policies, and practices and to further strengthen our commitment to privacy compliance. One such engagement is our ongoing work with the Dutch government regarding its Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) of …
Today, we’re excited to announce the general availability of Confidential GKE Nodes. Many organizations have made Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) the foundation of their modern application architectures. While the benefits of containers and Kubernetes can outweigh that of traditional architectures, moving to and running those apps in the …
As long as passwords remain an incredibly common form of account authentication, password reuse attacks—which take advantage of people reusing the same password across multiple services—will be one of the most common ways for malicious hackers to hijack user accounts. Password reuse is such a serious problem …
The security of the infrastructure that runs your applications is one of the most important considerations in choosing a cloud vendor. Google Cloud’s approach to infrastructure security is unique. Google doesn’t rely on any single technology to secure its infrastructure. Rather, it has built security through progressive …
With the recent announcement of Assured Open Source Software service, Google Cloud can help customers secure their open source software by providing them with the same open source packages that Google uses. By getting security assurances from using these open source packages, Google Cloud customers can enhance their security …
European legislators came to an inter-institutional agreement on the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) in May 2022. This is a major milestone in the adoption of new rules designed to ensure financial entities can withstand, respond to and recover from all types of ICT-related disruptions and threats, including increasingly …
May was another big month for us, even as we get ready for more industry work and engagement at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco. At our Security Summit and throughout the past month, we continued to launch new security products and features, and increased service and support …
