Google Security Operations SIEM Overview

Overview

Every internet-facing environment is constantly under attack from automated scanners, vulnerability probes, botnet traffic, and mass-exploit tools. These generate thousands of alerts in Google SecOps that are not real threats - they are internet background noise. Without a way to identify and remove this noise, SOC analysts spend the majority of their time on activity that requires no action, while genuinely targeted threats get buried.

The GreyNoise integration for Google SecOps ingests GreyNoise's real-time IP intelligence directly into the SIEM as structured UDM entity records, making it available to all YARA-L detection rules, UDM search queries, and Dashboards without any context switching or external lookups.

Key Capabilities

  • Native Threat Intelligence Feed: GreyNoise IP indicators are ingested on a defined schedule into Google SecOps via a GCP Cloud Function, populating entity records tagged with the GREYNOISE log type - no manual import.

  • Pre-Built Detection Rules: Purpose-built detection rules that correlate active events against GreyNoise indicators, covering inbound threats, authentication abuse, and outbound compromise signals.

  • Dashboards & Visibility: The GreyNoise integration provides dedicated visibility into ingested threat indicators, supporting continuous monitoring of indicator volume, verdict distribution, and active threat coverage across the environment.

  • Saved Searches: Predefined search queries to filter out specific IP indicators that are relevant for the SOC team.
