The security industry is undergoing a shift from relying on legacy architectures to harnessing the power and scale of data and intelligence in security operations (SecOps). As organizations struggle with challenges such as data overload, undetected threats and staff shortages, industry leaders are turning to cloud-native SecOps platforms to streamline operations, reduce costs and enhance their technology stack.
We suggest that companies looking to adopt a cloud-native SecOps platform should take a methodical approach to maximize a smooth transition and realize the benefits of a new platform. As you get started, begin with the following considerations:
Adopting a cloud-native SecOps platform can help transform security operations, offering speed, scale, and economic efficiency. Key impacts of adopting a cloud-native SecOps platform include:
Google Security Operations is trusted by many large organizations across various sectors as their combined SIEM/SOAR platform. Google Security Operations is enhanced with generative AI (GenAI) for proactive suggestions, automation via machine learning for UEBA and data-driven decision making to stay ahead of threats and build efficient response playbooks. It’s used to detect behavior and patterns of adversaries, moving beyond simple static identifiers. The platform is leading the shift from siloed operations to converged security operations, with data being placed in a unified platform accessible to multiple disciplines within security (e.g., cloud security, network security, GRC, etc).
While there are numerous benefits to adopting a cloud-native platform, there are challenges to be navigated such as external factors like licensing renewals, program timelines, budget constraints and the need to demonstrate a return on investment can arise. Key actions to overcome potential challenges include:
We encourage businesses to carefully consider the advantages of these platforms, highlighting the shift from legacy technology to data and intelligence-driven approaches. By embracing cloud-native SecOps platforms, companies can empower their teams, mitigate risks and gain comprehensive protection against evolving threats.
