Hello, Security Community!
We have introduced the Emerging Threats Center in Google Security Operations to address a specific friction point in the SOC: the lag between a high-profile threat hitting the news and the ability to detect it in your environment.
When a "headline" vulnerability drops, analysts often lose hours or days to manual research and writing custom rules. The Emerging Threats Center is designed to streamline this workflow by leveraging Gemini to automate the heavy lifting of detection engineering.
Here is the practical outcome for your team:
- Immediate Visibility: Rapidly answer "Are we impacted?" and "Are we prepared?" without manual query construction.
- Automated Research: The system analyzes threat intelligence articles and automatically converts them into valid detection rules.
- Faster Mitigation: Shift your focus from investigating if you are exposed to actually remediating the assets that are.
We are keen to understand how this new workflow impacts your daily operations. Once you have had a chance to test it, we would love your feedback on how it performs in your specific environment and where it saves your team the most time.
