This `google cloud platform tutorial` details how to integrate Google Cloud Platform with Wazuh, a powerful `logging platform`. We break down the process into five clear steps, covering both the theoretical background of Google Cloud `logs` and practical integration. This guide is essential for enhancing your `security monitoring` and overall `cybersecurity` posture. Welcome to this comprehensive, hands-on tutorial on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) integration with Wazuh SIEM! In the modern security landscape, centralized log management for cloud environments is critical. This video provides a full theory and practical lab walkthrough, showing you step-by-step how to configure Wazuh to ingest security and operational logs directly from your Google Cloud environment. We focus on securing your GCP footprint by routing crucial log data—including audit and storage events—into the powerful Wazuh Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform for real-time threat detection and compliance monitoring. 🔑 Key Topics Covered in this Tutorial: Wazuh-GCP Architecture: Understanding the data flow from Google Cloud Logging (via Pub/Sub/Storage) to the Wazuh Manager. Google Cloud Audit Log Integration: Setting up the necessary sinks and subscriptions to route various audit log types to Wazuh. Monitoring Google Storage Buckets: Practical steps to ingest access and usage logs from your critical GCP Storage buckets. Targeted Log Ingestion: Configuring Wazuh to specifically collect and analyze high-value events like: Admin Activity Logs (IAM, configuration changes). Denied Events (failed access, permission issues). System Event Logs (Google-generated administrative actions). Subject Data Access Logs (who is viewing sensitive data). Visualizing Alerts: How to use the built-in Wazuh Google Cloud Dashboard and view the detailed event logs for effective security analysis. This guide is perfect for SOC Analysts, Cloud Security Engineers, and InfoSec professionals looking to implement robust cloud security posture management (CSPM) and threat detection using open-source tools.
