The “Google on SecOps” blog found on chronicle.security has moved to the Community Blog. This blog was originally published on November 7th, 2023 by Ahnna Schini & Kristen Cooper. Going forward, all Google Security Operations (formerly known as Chronicle Security Operations) blogs will be published here. 

Google Security Operations is coming off a pivotal third quarter. Not only did we announce a unified approach to TDIR, but continued to make enhancements towards everyday functionality. Dive into the top features below to see how Google Security Operations is adding value to customers’ day-to-day operations while also reducing legacy SIEM headaches.

Unified Security Operations Experience

Say goodbye to console switching. Our new consolidated experience for Google Security Operations streamlines the TDIR experience so you can easily access relevant context and pivot between alerts, cases, investigation, and playbooks.

Integration with Mandiant Attack Surface Management

Continuously identify and validate exploitable entry points into your organization with the new Mandiant Attack Surface Management integration.

AI-powered Productivity

With Gemini, you can now enter questions in natural language and Google Security Operations will generate the query from your statement, present a fully mapped syntax for search, and make it possible for you to quickly refine and iterate on results. 

You can also leverage Gemini to automatically get a clear summary of what’s happening in cases, receive context and guidance on important threats, and recommendations for how to respond.
