Description

Guest:  Ana Oprea, Staff Security Engineer, European Lead of Vulnerability Coordination Center @ Google Topics: What is the scope for the vulnerability management program at Google? Does it cover  OS, off-the-shelf applications, custom code we wrote … or all of the above? Our vulnerability prioritization includes a process called “impact assessment.” What does our impact assessment for a vulnerability look like? How do we prioritize what to remediate? How do we decide on the speed of remediation needed? How do we know if we’ve done a good job? When we look backwards, what are our critical metrics (SLIs and SLOs) and how high up the security stack is the reporting on our progress? What of the “Google Approach” should other companies not try to emulate? Surely some things work because of Google being Google, so what are the weird or surprising things that only work for us? Resources: SRS Book, Chapter 20: Understanding Roles and Responsibilities and Chapter 21: Building a Culture of Security and Reliability  Why Google Stores Billions of Lines of Code in a Single Repository  SRE book and SRE Workbook “How Google Secures It's Google Cloud Usage at Massive Scale” (ep107) “Is This Binary Legit? How Google Uses Binary Authorization and Code Provenance” (ep66) “How We Scale Detection and Response at Google: Automation, Metrics, Toil” (ep75)

Cloud Security Podcast by Google focuses on security in the cloud, delivering security from the cloud, and all things at the intersection of security and cloud. Of course, we will also cover what we are doing in Google Cloud to help keep our users' data safe and workloads secure. We’re going to do our best to avoid security theater, and cut to the heart of real security questions and issues. Expect us to question threat models and ask if something is done for the data subject’s benefit or just for organizational benefit. We hope you’ll join us if you’re interested in where technology overlaps with process and bumps up against organizational design. We’re hoping to attract listeners who are happy to hear conventional wisdom questioned, and who are curious about what lessons we can and can’t keep as the world moves from on-premises computing to cloud computing.
