In a cloud-first SecOps environment, which of the following is a key step to reduce detection-writing effort when integrating with Google Cloud services?

• A. Rely on CASB logs for coverage.
• B. Rely on IAM logs for coverage.
• C. Integrate SCC to ingest logs originating from Google Cloud services.
• D. Rely on Network firewall logs for coverage.

Answer: (C)

The main idea is to centralize and standardize security telemetry from Google Cloud so you don’t have to craft detections for every service yourself. Integrating Security Command Center to ingest logs originating from Google Cloud services gives you a single, unified source of security signals across your cloud environment. SCC collects and normalizes data from Google Cloud services, surfaces findings, and can export these findings to your SIEM or SOAR (for example via Pub/Sub or Cloud Logging). This lets your team leverage built-in signals and preconfigured detections, or quickly build detections on top of a consistent data stream, dramatically reducing the amount of detection-writing work required.

Relying on CASB logs focuses on SaaS usage and may miss many Google Cloud-native events. IAM logs are valuable but don’t cover all data-plane or service-to-service activity. Network firewall logs provide network-level visibility but miss finer-grained cloud-service signals and misconfigurations. These options don’t offer the same breadth of integrated, exportable cloud-native signals that SCC provides, so they don’t meaningfully reduce detection-writing effort in a cloud-first SecOps setup.
