Security Command Center

Jan 1, 0001

Definition

Security Command Center (SCC) is a comprehensive security management and data risk platform for Google Cloud. It provides visibility into an organization’s cloud assets, identifies vulnerabilities, and detects threats in real-time. SCC helps in maintaining compliance by offering insights into security posture and enabling automated responses to security incidents.

Secure Settings Example

# Example of enabling Security Command Center in a Google Cloud project
resource "google_security_center_settings" "secure_settings" {
  project = "my-secure-project"

  # Enable all security sources
  security_sources {
    enable_asset_discovery = true
    enable_event_threat_detection = true
    enable_security_health_analytics = true
  }

  # Set notification configuration
  notification_config {
    pubsub_topic = "projects/my-secure-project/topics/security-notifications"
  }
}

Insecure Settings Example

# Example of a misconfigured Security Command Center setup
resource "google_security_center_settings" "insecure_settings" {
  project = "my-insecure-project"

  # Asset discovery is disabled, reducing visibility
  security_sources {
    enable_asset_discovery = false
    enable_event_threat_detection = true
    enable_security_health_analytics = true
  }

  # No notification configuration, missing alerts
  notification_config {
    pubsub_topic = ""
  }
}
