Google Cloud has introduced four new capabilities in Security Command Center to enhance cloud protection.
The first capability is agentless vulnerability scanning for Compute Engine and GKE to simplify vulnerability management.
This feature helps in reducing operational overhead, expanding coverage, and maintaining data residency.
Security Command Center enriches vulnerability reports with data from Google Threat Intelligence, providing impactful insights and visual representations for better understanding.
Another enhancement is the integration of Artifact Analysis for finding vulnerabilities in container images, offered at no extra cost for Enterprise customers.
This integration allows for automated scanning of container images in Artifact Registry to identify known vulnerabilities.
Security Command Center now offers threat detection for Cloud Run services to secure serverless applications.
The threat detection includes behavioral analysis, malicious code detection, NLP-powered analysis, and control plane monitoring.
Additionally, Security Command Center provides foundational log analysis to uncover network anomalies without requiring customers to purchase or analyze VPC Flow Logs separately.
These new capabilities provide comprehensive visibility and security measures for Google Cloud environments, helping security teams proactively protect their assets.
To explore these Security Command Center features, users can contact Google Cloud sales representatives or authorized partners and join the Security Command Center user community for updates.
