𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: Hector Peña, Senior Director of Information Security at Apex FinTech Solutions, shares how Google Cloud is helping the innovative fintech platform deliver secure ways to invest and generate wealth. With Google Cloud, Apex transformed its Security Operations Center (SOC) with advanced workflows, cutting-edge AI technologies, and a single source of security truth.

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲: Apex wanted to build a unified security operations platform to bring all of its tools and data together, enabling SOC analysts to identify, investigate, and respond to the latest threats faster, with confidence.

𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Using Google Security Operations, Apex can now ingest data from multiple sources — from legacy to on-premises to SaaS — at scale and in a standard structure. In addition, analysts can supercharge their productivity with gen AI capabilities, powered by Gemini, such as generating detection rules in seconds or summarizing cases to provide upfront context for investigations.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀: With SOC analysts leveraging Google Security Operations as their core SecOps platform, Apex reduced the time to detect and investigate threats from two hours to 15 to 30 minutes. Now, analysts have more time to focus on more strategic work, from investigating sophisticated threats to developing security response playbooks.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗲ñ𝗮, 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗽𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

→ “No longer do we have our analysts having to write longer expressions that can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour — Gemini can do it within a matter of seconds.”

→ “We had a legacy platform that just didn’t meet the standards of a modern-day fintech organization. Google Security Operations is much more advanced than our legacy tech. We were able to generate faster queries to create new detections and to ingest logs from multiple different data sources that also weren’t just Google Cloud.”

→ “When we moved to Google Security Operations, we were able to reduce the time to detect and time to investigate to about 15 to 30 minutes. No longer spending time in disparate tools but performing the job functions of a security operations analyst, it empowers them to work on more advanced workflows.”

→ “Google Security Operations offers a data retention policy that allows our analysts to retroactively identify any threats that have occurred in the past. Google Security Operations is empowering us to be not only near real time but to ensure we have Apex covered for the last 12 months.”
