Enhancing Google Workspace Security with Vijilan’s 24x7 SOC and Native Cloud SIEM

Introduction

As organizations increasingly rely on Google Workspace for collaboration and productivity, the need to secure this environment has never been more critical. Google Workspace, while offering robust built-in security features, can benefit greatly from additional layers of protection provided by dedicated security solutions. Vijilan Security offers an advanced cybersecurity solution tailored for Google Workspace users, combining 24×7 Security Operations Center (SOC) services and a native cloud Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform. This white paper explores how Vijilan enhances the security of Google Workspace environments and provides key benefits to decision-makers looking to strengthen their organization’s cybersecurity posture.

The Need for Enhanced Security in Google Workspace

Google Workspace is a powerful tool that enables seamless collaboration and communication across organizations. However, its widespread use also makes it a target for cyber threats, such as phishing attacks, unauthorized access, and data breaches. While Google Workspace provides essential security features, integrating it with a dedicated security solution like Vijilan offers enhanced protection against sophisticated threats:

Vijilan Security specializes in aggregating logs from various sources into its cloud-based Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) infrastructure. This infrastructure, hosted on AWS and powered by CrowdStrike’s next-generation SIEM and log management solution, LogScale, offers unparalleled capabilities in processing and analyzing large volumes of data. By integrating with Barracuda CloudGen Firewall, Vijilan enhances its ability to gather comprehensive log data from across an organization’s network, including on-premises systems and multi-cloud deployments.

Visibility Across User Activities

Monitoring activities within Google Workspace, such as file sharing, email communications, and user logins, allows for the detection of unusual behavior that could indicate a security threat.

Compliance with Security Regulations

Organizations in regulated industries need to comply with stringent security and privacy standards. Vijilan’s solutions help ensure compliance by providing detailed logging, monitoring, and reporting capabilities tailored to Google Workspace environments.

Proactive Anomaly Detection with Vijilan’s AI-Driven Approach

Real-Time Anomaly Detection

When Vijilan detects an anomaly, such as unusual login patterns or suspicious data access, it uses AI to quickly analyze the activity and determine if it poses a risk. This rapid detection is crucial in a Google Workspace environment where collaboration is continuous, and threats can spread quickly.

Automated Threat Detections Across Customers

Once an anomaly is identified and confirmed as a threat, Vijilan can instantly create and deploy new detections across all customer environments. This proactive approach ensures that all Google Workspace users benefit from the latest threat intelligence and defenses, reducing the risk of widespread attacks.

Reduced Time to Remediation

The combination of AI and real-time monitoring means that threats are detected and responded to faster. For decision-makers, this translates into reduced risk of data breaches, minimized downtime, and protection of organizational reputation.
