Collect Security Command Center Posture Violation logs

This document explains how to export and ingest Security Command Center Posture Violation logs into Google Security Operations using Cloud Storage. The parser transforms raw JSON data from findings into a unified data model (UDM). It extracts relevant fields, restructures the data, maps it to UDM fields, and performs various validations and enrichments to ensure data quality and consistency.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Security Command Center is enabled in your Google Cloud environment.
• Google SecOps instance.
• Privileged access to Security Command Center and Cloud Logging.

Create a Cloud Storage bucket

1. Sign in to the Google Cloud console .

2. Go to the Cloud Storage Bucketspage.

   Go to Buckets

3. Click Create.

4. On the Create a bucketpage, enter your bucket information. After each of the following steps, click Continueto proceed to the next step:

   1. In the Get startedsection, do the following:

      2. Use the location type menu to select a Locationwhere object data within your bucket will be permanently stored.

      3. To set up cross-bucket replication, expand the Set up cross-bucket replicationsection.

   3. In the Choose a storage class for your datasection, either select a default storage classfor the bucket, or select Autoclassfor automatic storage class management of your bucket's data.

   4. In the Choose how to control access to objectssection, select notto enforce public access prevention, and select an access control modelfor your bucket's objects.

   5. In the Choose how to protect object datasection, do the following:
