Integrate Compute Engine with Google SecOps

Integration version: 13.0

This document provides guidance on how to integrate Compute Engine with Google Security Operations (Google SecOps).

Use cases

The integration for Compute Engine helps you solve the following use cases:

  • Automated incident response:use Google SecOps capabilities to automatically isolate an instance from the network using playbooks upon detecting a compromised Compute Engine instance. Isolating an instance limits the spread of the attack and reduces potential damage. An automated incident response helps you accelerate the incident response time and reduces the workload on your security team.

  • Threat hunting and investigation:use Google SecOps capabilities to automate the collection of logs and security telemetry from Compute Engine instances across multiple projects. You can analyze the collected data for suspicious activity and potential threats to proactively hunt threats and speed up investigations by automating data collection.

  • Vulnerability management:integrate vulnerability scanning tools with Google SecOps to automatically scan Compute Engine instances for known vulnerabilities. You can use Google SecOps capabilities to automatically generate tickets for remediation or even patch the vulnerabilities directly to reduce the risk of exploitation and improve the security posture of your organization.

  • Compliance automation:use Google SecOps capabilities to automate the collection of audit logs and configuration data from Compute Engine instances and comply with regulatory requirements. You can use collected data to generate reports and dashboards for auditors to simplify compliance reporting and reduce the manual effort required to analyze data.

  • Security orchestration:orchestrate security workflows across multiple Google Cloud services, including Compute Engine. For example, Google SecOps can trigger the creation of a new firewall rule in response to a security event detected on a Compute Engine instance. The security orchestration provides you with a more coordinated and automated security posture by integrating different security tools and services.

Before you begin

To use the integration, you need a custom Identity and Access Management (IAM) role and a Google Cloud service account. You can use an existing service account or create a new one.

Create and configure the IAM role

To create a and configure a custom IAM role for the integration, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the IAM Rolespage.

    Go to Roles

  2. Click Create roleto create a custom role with permissions required for the integration.

  3. For a new custom role, provide the Title, Description, and a unique ID.

  4. Set the Role Launch Stageto General Availability.

  5. Add the following permissions to the created role:

    • compute.instances.list
    • compute.instances.start
    • compute.instances.stop
    • compute.instances.delete
    • compute.instances.setLabels
    • compute.instances.getIamPolicy
    • compute.instances.setIamPolicy
    • compute.instances.get
    • compute.zones.list

For guidance on creating a service account, see Create service accounts . Make sure to grant your custom IAM role to the service account under Grant this service account access to project.

If you use a service account to authenticate to Google Cloud, you can create a service account key in JSON and provide the content of the downloaded JSON file when configuring the integration parameters .

For security reasons, we recommend using a workload identity email address instead of a service account key. For more information about the workload identities, see Identities for workloads .
