Security Technologies that Managed Defense Supports

The following tables list the supported security technologies, required Google Security Operations parsers, and supported alert types from each vendor that are processed as part of providing security event monitoring and threat hunting services. 

Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and signatures created by customers are not within the scope of Managed Defense service delivery. Managed Defense does not generally escalate rules where activity has been blocked. For instance, an email may be quarantined before you receive it or traffic may be dropped by an inline network security device. This escalation is only possible if the activity is related to other malicious activity.
