Ingest Secure Logs with Google Security Operations and SCC

ADVANCED
180 minutes
5 tasks

In this hands-on lab, you will build a comprehensive log ingestion pipeline utilizing Google Security Operations (Chronicle) and Security Command Center (SCC). You'll learn to configure parsers, normalize data, and enrich logs with threat intelligence. These log streams will be critical for enterprise security postures, helping detect anomalies and responding to threats in real-time. By the end of this lab, you will have a deep understanding of log management, particularly focused on scalability and cost-effectiveness, essential for enterprise-grade environments. You will also practice establishing baselines and identifying anomalies among user and asset context in GCP environments.

Scenario

A multinational corporation needs to bolster its security posture by integrating logs from multiple sources into a centralized platform. They aim to use GCP services to ingest, normalize, and analyze logs for quick threat mitigation. They prioritize cost-efficient solutions while maintaining high scalability and robust security standards. Their goal is to enhance responsiveness to potential security breaches using state-of-the-art threat intelligence.
