So, I've been in this community for a while now and I'm still not really sure what it's all about. Since we can't even use the Google/Mandiant tools, why is that what everyone talks about? I think it could be awesome if more members could get involved.

hi ​@cincyohio 

 

Thank you for being a part of our community and sharing your feedback. I can see how it might be confusing if you aren’t currently using the tools we discuss most frequently.

 

To clarify, the Google Cloud Security Community is a specialized hub specifically designed to support the adoption, deployment, and day-to-day use of Google Cloud Security products, including Mandiant solutions. Our goal is to provide a structured environment where security professionals and practitioners can find expert guidance, share best practices, and collaborate on technical challenges.

 

We talk about these tools because the community serves as:

  • A Technical Resource: Providing quick answers for product enablement and troubleshooting.
  • An Adoption Engine: Offering step-by-step onboarding and adoption guides to help users strengthen their security posture.
  • A Feedback Loop: Allowing members to submit product ideas directly to our engineering teams.

 

Even if you aren't currently using these tools in a production environment, there are other ways to get involved:

  • Learning & Training: You can explore our Community Blog for deep-dives
  • Join our Technical Webinar series to see how these tools operate in real-world scenarios.
