Security & Compliance on Google Cloud

Modern Security Operations, based on Google's Autonomic Security Operations framework and Continuous Detection, Continuous Response (CD/CR) methodology is a combination of philosophies, practices, and tools that improve an organization's ability to withstand security attacks through an adaptive, agile, and highly automated approach to threat management. In this introductory course, learners will gain a holistic perspective on leading their organizations through modernizing their security operations program.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers transformative possibilities, but it also introduces new security challenges. This course equips security and data protection leaders with strategies to securely manage AI within their organizations. Learn a framework for proactively identifying and mitigating AI-specific risks, protecting sensitive data, ensuring compliance, and building a resilient AI infrastructure. Pick use cases from four different industries to explore how these strategies apply in real-world scenarios.

In the context of a real-world use case, learn how to use Security Command Center’s virtual red teaming feature to identify risks. Then, learn how attack exposure scores help you prioritize issues and how risk reports keep stakeholders in the loop.

Learn how to use Security Command Center (SCC) to triage vulnerabilities and misconfigurations identified by platform security detectors. 

This course provides a comprehensive, end-to-end exploration of Google SecOps SIEM, guiding learners from foundational concepts to advanced investigation and detection engineering. Participants will gain hands-on experience with data ingestion, normalization, RBAC configuration, searching, and dashboarding using both legacy and native capabilities. Through structured modules, demos, and curated examples, the course emphasizes real-world investigation workflows, UDM-based analytics, and YARA-L rule development. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to operationalize SIEM effectively within their environment and build scalable processes for detection, investigation, and reporting.

This course introduces the SOAR component of Google SecOps, guiding learners through setup, response automation, and reporting. With demos, hands-on examples, and quizzes, participants will learn how to simplify investigations and make day-to-day security operations more efficient. The course is designed around short videos, averaging about five minutes each, divided into granular topics to support different learning styles and fit into the time learners have available.
