Google Cloud 2020 Webinar Series: Security Analytics: Keep Your Logs Forever Without Breaking the Bank

Google Cloud and Carahsoft invite you to a webinar to learn more about cybersecurity solutions and demonstrate specific use cases. Government agencies continue to modernize by expanding their services and migrating workloads to hybrid and cloud environments. These actions create rapid growth in the volume of log data generated by devices and systems. Security professionals rely on these logs for audit information, forensic evidence, and to detect malware, intrusions and unauthorized access.

The rapid growth of data produces two major challenges for security professionals:

Cost-Prohibitive: Ingesting and storing all of the necessary logs becomes unrealistic for most agencies
Overwhelming: Security teams struggle with a combination of too many alerts and an incomplete view of their entire enterprise

This session will discuss how Google Cloud Platform (GCP) can be leveraged to cost-effectively warehouse your security logs indefinitely, based on our experience with the New York City Cyber Command.

During this webinar, you will learn:

Common security issues compounded by data growth
Google's security first strategy - secure by design, secure by default
GCP security analytics architecture - flexible, scalable, built for speed, enable machine learning
NYC Cyber Command use case

During the session, we will demonstrate thea bility for a SOC analyst to query/analyze a massive amount of historical security logs using Structure Query Lanuage (SQL) and BigQuery to identify potential security incidents.
