At mWISE ‘24, Google announced new ways to empower security leaders and practitioners to strengthen their defenses, emphasizing the concept of the “defender’s advantage.” This strategy highlights that organizations know their environments best and are best equipped to defend them.
A key aspect of this approach is the release of the second edition of “The Defender’s Advantage” ebook, a detailed framework to help organizations maximize their home-field advantage. The framework details how intelligence drives critical cybersecurity functions: Detect, Respond, Validate, Hunt, and Mission Control.
Furthermore, Google announced the general availability of Managed Defense for Google Security Operations for U.S.-based customers. This service leverages curated detections and risk scores from Google Security Operations to provide comprehensive threat coverage, automated threat identification, and faster risk analysis.
To enhance collaboration, Google Threat Intelligence now offers Private Collection Sharing, enabling secure and confidential sharing of insights and intelligence with trusted colleagues and industry partners. These collections provide secure spaces for collaboration, encompassing not just indicators of compromise (IOCs) but also TTPs, strategic insights, and analyses.
Through these initiatives, Google emphasizes the importance of collaboration and intelligence sharing in bolstering cybersecurity posture.
