Google Cloud and Carahsoft invite you to a webinar to learn more about cybersecurity solutions and demonstrate specific use cases. Government agencies continue to modernize by expanding their services and migrating workloads to hybrid and cloud environments. These actions create rapid growth in the volume of log data generated by devices and systems. Security professionals rely on these logs for audit information, forensic evidence, and to detect malware, intrusions, and unauthorized access.
The rapid growth of data produces two major challenges for security professionals:
- Cost-Prohibitive: Ingesting and storing all of the necessary logs becomes unrealistic for most agencies
- Overwhelming: Security teams struggle with a combination of too many alerts and an incomplete view of their entire enterprise
This session will discuss how Google Cloud Platform (GCP) can be leveraged to cost-effectively warehouse your security logs indefinitely, based on our experience with the New York City Cyber Command.
- Common security issues compounded by data growth
- Google's security first strategy - secure by design, secure by default
- GCP security analytics architecture - flexible, scalable, built for speed, enable machine learning
- NYC Cyber Command use case
During the session, we will demonstrate the ability for a SOC analyst to query/analyze a massive amount of historical security logs using Structure Query Language (SQL) and BigQuery to identify potential security incidents.
