Google SecOps

What is Google SecOps?

Google SecOps, formerly known as Chronicle, is Google Cloud's cloud-native security operations platform designed to handle the scale of data that modern enterprises generate. It ingests and normalizes massive volumes of security telemetry using Google's underlying infrastructure, allowing SOC teams to retain years of data and search across it in seconds. The platform applies YARA-L detection rules, curated threat intelligence from Google's research teams, and AI-powered analysis to surface high-confidence threats from the noise. Its SOAR capabilities allow teams to build automated response playbooks that execute across integrated security tools. Google SecOps is particularly strong for organizations that need long data retention windows for retrospective threat hunting or compliance purposes, as the cost model is based on data ingestion rather than storage volume.

How does Google SecOps work with Qevlar?

Qevlar integrates with Google SecOps to receive detections and to query historical telemetry during investigations. The combination allows Qevlar to look back across extended timeframes when investigating a threat, identifying whether an attack has been present in the environment longer than the initial alert suggested.
