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.

All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock [`securitycentermanagement_v1::SecurityCenterManagementClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/securitycentermanagement/2.33.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1securitycentermanagement__v1_1_1SecurityCenterManagementClient) when testing your application.\n\n### More Information\n\n- [Error Handling](https://cloud.google.com/cpp/docs/reference/common/latest/common-error-handling.html) - describes how the library reports errors.\n- [How to Override the Default Endpoint](/cpp/docs/reference/securitycentermanagement/2.33.0/securitycentermanagement-override-endpoint) - describes how to override the default endpoint.\n- [How to Override the Authentication Credentials](/cpp/docs/reference/securitycentermanagement/2.33.0/securitycentermanagement-override-authentication) - describes how to change the authentication credentials used by the library.\n- [Override Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies](/cpp/docs/reference/securitycentermanagement/2.33.0/securitycentermanagement-override-retry) - describes how to change the default retry policies.\n- [Environment Variables](/cpp/docs/reference/securitycentermanagement/2.33.0/securitycentermanagement-env) - describes environment variables that can configure the behavior of the library."]]
