Why (and how) Google Cloud is adding attack path simulation to Security Command Center

Google Cloud has acquired Foreseeti, a Swedish risk analytics company that specializes in attack path simulation. This technology helps security teams map out possible pathways that an attacker may take to access and compromise assets in a cloud environment. This can help teams identify specific attack paths that lead to high-value resources and prioritize their security efforts accordingly.

Google Cloud plans to integrate Foreseeti's attack path simulation technology into its Security Command Center (SCC) to provide customers with a more advanced approach to cloud security risk management. This will enable SCC to model real-world threats and conduct automated simulations that identify vulnerable assets and propose effective security control measures.
