Google has introduced Chronicle CyberShield, a cybersecurity solution designed for government entities. The solution aims to address the increasing cybersecurity threats targeting government organizations while enabling them to leverage digital transformation benefits and protect critical infrastructure and citizen data.
Chronicle CyberShield offers threat intelligence, detection, and response capabilities. It facilitates threat information sharing among multiple government agencies, enhancing the efficiency of investigations and fostering collaboration to respond to threats more effectively.
Google emphasizes the importance of governments collaborating and forming united responses to cybersecurity incidents. Reducing fragmentation in response efforts can lead to quicker and more efficient threat mitigation.
The solution also addresses the rising threats to cloud adoption, which has become a prominent target for cyberattacks. Many of these attacks are attributed to nation-states and geopolitical actors. Chronicle CyberShield enables government customers to access threat intelligence from Google and Mandiant, allowing them to test security controls and defenses to identify and rectify vulnerabilities.
Additionally, Chronicle CyberShield helps protect web applications from various cyberattacks, including Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, fraudulent activities, and bot-related threats. The solution leverages Google Cloud’s professional services and Mandiant’s government consulting expertise to enhance security governance, upskill government talent, encourage knowledge sharing, and facilitate effective security operations within government organizations.
