Google’s Security Command Center Enterprise fills gaps across cloud security lifecycle

Google’s new Security Command Center Enterprise (SCC Enterprise) could streamline cloud risk management through AI automation, saving security teams time, experts say. Enhanced with Mandiant threat intelligence and generative AI, SCC Enterprise aims to offer comprehensive insights across the cloud security lifecycle. Google Cloud has identified gaps in the protection provided by current cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) and introduced SCC Enterprise as a solution to better guard against emerging threats.

“There are two things that Security Command Center Enterprise addresses compared with previous solutions: tighter integration between cloud and enterprise security and coverage across multi-cloud rather than just operating in silos,” Narayana Pappu, CEO at Zendata, a San Francisco-based provider of data security and privacy compliance solutions said in an interview. “Automation and integration of Gen AI brings efficiencies that will save teams time as well.”

According to Suni Potti, VP/GM of Google Cloud Security, the new platform integrates Mandiant Threat Intelligence with modern SecOps capabilities, enabling swift responses to cloud security incidents through “SIEM-powered visibility and SOAR-driven accountability.”

“Security teams can get a single view of their posture controls, active threats, cloud identities, data, and more, while integrating remediation and issue accountability into the end-to-end workflows of a converged cloud risk management platform,” Potti wrote in a blog post.
