The other major announcement is the introduction of Private Collection Sharing for Google Threat Intelligence, which is essentially a new way to help companies share critical cybersecurity information. By creating a safe space for data sharing, companies can discuss indicators of compromise, tactics, techniques, procedures, and more with their peers.
“Collaboration is critical to creating true resilience when it comes to the systems and networks we rely on every day,” said Phil Venables, Chief Information Security Officer at Google Cloud.
Finally, Google announced the second edition of the Defender’s Advantage Framework, Mandiant’s cybersecurity strategy designed to help organizations improve their defense capabilities and resilience against cyberthreats.
