Register for the webinar, and read the Google Cloud Cybersecurity Forecast 2024 report when it releases on 8th November.

Google Cloud Cybersecurity Forecast 2024 - EMEA

As cloud adoption continues to grow, so too does the number of cloud-native security threats.  However, cloud environments can present significant opportunities to improve security with the right tools and processes in place.

In our recent “State of Cloud Threat Detection and Response Survey", 71% of respondents said that “entire classes of threats are eliminated by migrating to the cloud” and 82% stated that “the cloud affords the ability to process more data, including on-prem data, which can improve detection across the board.” To reap these benefits, however, organizations need to understand that effectively securing the cloud involves more than “lifting and shifting” their existing security tools and processes. The cloud presents a different attack surface across various cloud services and data repositories, each with different attack tactics, potential misconfigurations and context.  

Join us to learn:
 - How TDIR in the cloud differs from traditional on-premises approaches
 - How an end-to-end workflow can work for you
 - What you should look for in a turnkey TDIR solution

Simplify End-to-End Threat Detection, Investigation and Response in the Cloud

Detecting, investigating, and responding to cyberthreats is the core function of the SOC, and the team never gets a break - attackers are carrying out more sophisticated attacks, the attack surface continues to expand, and talent shortages are the reality.

Join our upcoming webinar and demo to see how Chronicle Security Operations has cracked the code on speed and scale, automation, and detection/investigation/response processes.

We’ll explore how you can:
- Eliminate security blindspots with cloud-native infrastructure.
- Get to “aha” faster with sub-second search, insights, and streamlined processes.
- Democratize security operations by leveraging threat intelligence, out-of-the-box detections, and playbooks.

As cloud environments get larger and more complex, it becomes difficult to identify the greatest security risks. What if you could quickly pinpoint where you’re the most exposed, and then quickly mitigate the risk of attack? Learn how our new attack path simulation engine uses advanced AI to help you visualize multistage attacks by tracing the steps an attacker may potentially take to exploit vulnerabilities, giving you the opportunity to remediate threats before they impact your cloud.

Pinpointing and mitigating cloud security risks

Software supply chain attacks are on the rise. In this session, we’ll explore the most common types of software supply chain attacks and provide an overview of the risks they pose to businesses. We’ll also discuss best practices for securing your software supply chain, such as implementing risk assessment and management processes, establishing strong security controls, and building a culture of supply chain security.

Secure from the core: Applying key security lessons to software supply chains

Threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) in the cloud requires different approaches, tools, and processes. Yet many organizations resort to lift-and-shift approaches rooted in legacy security operations, resulting in intensive efforts that fail to deliver the expected outcomes. Join this session to learn how Chronicle Security Operations provides superior, packaged TDIR for Google Cloud at a fraction of the effort.

Simpler cloud-native threat detection, investigation & response, from end to end

Recognizing the expanding threat landscape and the need for effective business enablement through threat-based exposure prioritization, Mandiant has developed a purpose-built solution: Mandiant Proactive Exposure Management. In this session, we’ll go over how this solution helps enterprises reliably and continuously reduce the most critical and exploitable exposures – before adversaries act on them. Security teams need to be able to effectively prioritize exposures that require immediate remediation – and understand what can wait.
