Use Cases in Threat Intelligence: Turn Insights into Action

As more business-critical workloads are migrated to cloud environments, cloud security and security operations teams struggle to gain visibility and insight into the cloud risks that could jeopardize their business. Operational silos and disconnected tooling make it difficult to proactively identify high-risk issues and efficiently take the necessary steps to remediate them. But what if we could converge cloud security and SecOps into a single platform, with a single view of security events and data, to break down silos and manage the full lifecycle of cloud risks?

Join us to learn how proactive and reactive cloud security practices are coming together, enabled by converged platforms that unite security and SecOps teams so that more experts can act on cloud issues. See how Google Cloud’s Security Command Center can identify risks in multi-cloud environments, prioritize the most serious ones, and get them into the hands of the right teams for quick remediation. By bringing cloud security and SecOps together we can make the cloud safer.
