en.Wedoany.com Reported - Google Cloud announced that its Security Operations platform (Google Security Operations) is now available through the Seoul region, supporting local data residency to help South Korean enterprises comply with data governance and data residency regulations. The platform also leverages artificial intelligence technology to provide cyber threat detection and response capabilities for industries such as finance, manufacturing, and public institutions.

Google Cloud made this announcement at a press conference held in Gangnam, Seoul. Steve Ledzian, Chief Technology Officer for Mandiant Security in Asia Pacific and Japan at Google Cloud, stated that supporting the Security Operations platform through the Seoul region can alleviate South Korean enterprises' concerns about data sovereignty and help them comply with South Korean regulations. South Korean customers can now leverage Google's AI-based attack defense capabilities. He added that the platform is not limited to specific industries and can protect organizations across all sectors, capable of countering increasingly sophisticated AI-driven attacks.

Google Cloud specifically noted that this decision helps provide security support for South Korea's financial industry. The South Korean Financial Services Commission is promoting the relaxation of network isolation regulations for security-focused AI applications. Financial companies can use the platform to detect vulnerabilities with high-performance AI and build defense systems using cloud-based security SaaS solutions. Additionally, government and public institutions, as well as key supply chain players like manufacturing, can also gain enhanced security capabilities.

Google Cloud also announced that it will strengthen partnerships with major South Korean cloud security partners such as Bespin Global, LG CNS, and MegaZone Cloud to support the platform's deployment. Each partner will leverage its customer network and infrastructure expertise to lay the foundation for enterprises to build autonomous defense capabilities against ultra-fast, large-scale cyber attacks.

Google Security Operations is Google's threat intelligence and AI-driven security operations platform, built with the Gemini model to enhance the expertise and productivity of security teams. The platform reduces the operational burden on security analysts through playbook-based automated threat response workflow orchestration, and with intuitive drag-and-drop functionality and advanced support for parallel jobs and version management, helps enterprises quickly create playbooks and automate processes. By implementing "Agentic Defense," which automates SOC personnel tasks, it collaborates with human analysts to build an AI SOC. Steve Ledzian explained that using Agentic Defense can achieve results equivalent to hundreds of SOC personnel, significantly boosting SOC productivity and efficiency, allowing analysts to focus on higher-value work.

Google Cloud emphasized that its advantage lies in providing telemetry data from hundreds of millions of devices, Gmail, and Android devices, malware samples collected via VirusTotal, Mandiant's incident response cases and threat intelligence, and Wiz's cloud security capabilities, enabling rapid and accurate identification and response to global threats. Jagdish Mahapatra, Head of Google Cloud Security for Asia Pacific and Japan, noted that South Korea is the third most targeted country globally for cyber attacks, with state-backed attackers and those motivated by money and technology theft targeting major South Korean institutions, enterprises, and users. An AI SOC based on Google Cloud's threat intelligence and security expertise can protect South Korean customers. Since the platform operates on Google's hyperscale infrastructure, it can detect the latest cyber threats in near real-time and quickly obtain the context needed for investigation and response. Jagdish Mahapatra stated that launching Google Security Operations in the Seoul region will be a turning point for South Korea's cybersecurity, meeting data sovereignty requirements while directly providing AI innovation and threat observation capabilities to enterprises, reducing investigation times from approximately 30 minutes to just 1 minute, enabling a proactive cyber defense system.
