Hey Community! Come elevate your career with the new Google Cloud Professional Security Operations Engineer Certification. Registration is now open!
The new Google Cloud Professional Security Operations Engineer (PSOE) certification highlights the continuous and vigilant defense against ever-present threats that cloud security operations engineers and organizations face every day.
If the Professional Cloud Security Engineer (PCSE) certification equips you to build a secure cloud fortress, the PSOE certification demonstrates that you are able to use the Google Cloud security tools such as Google Security Operations (SecOps), Security Command Center (SCC), and Google Threat Intelligence (GTI) to continuously defend it. This is critical because robust security isn't just about configuration; it's about the ongoing battle against evolving threats.
The exam assesses your expertise across six core domains:
- Platform operations (~14%)
- Data management (~14%)
- Threat hunting (~19%)
- Detection engineering (~22%)
- Incident response (~21%)
- Observability (~10%)
While not required, it is highly recommended that candidates have at least 3 years of security industry experience and 1+ years of hands-on experience with Google Cloud security tooling.

Once you've passed your exam, we will add a new badge to your community profile to show off your newly earned certification!
