An idiomatic C++ client library for theSecurity Center Management API, a built-in security and risk management solution for Google Cloud. Use this API to programmatically update the settings and configuration of Security Command Center.
While this library isGA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries donotfollowSemantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/cloud/securitycentermanagement/quickstart/directory, which should give you a taste of the Security Center Management API C++ client library API.
