Consolidate Security Findings with Snyk and Google Security Command Center

Together, Snyk and Google Cloud enable modern security practices that unify cloud and application security efforts. This collaboration simplifies risk management for CISOs, providing a cohesive strategy to protect cloud-native environments and the applications running within them. Security leaders often struggle with fragmented tools that create silos between cloud security and application security teams. Snyk's new integration with Google’s Security Command Center enables CISOs and their security teams to monitor and manage application security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations detected by Snyk alongside cloud security issues detected by Security Command Center, all within a single pane of glass.

Security Command Center is Google’s multi-cloud security and risk management solution, pinpointing the highest risk cloud security issues. It helps organizations identify misconfigurations in near real-time, detect threats using the industry’s best threat intelligence from Google and Mandiant, and manage compliance across their cloud environments.

By combining Snyk’s developer security capabilities with Security Command Center, organizations can achieve better visibility into their end-to-end security and prioritize the remediation of security findings based on risk severity. For example, a critical vulnerability in a production workload—such as a vulnerable library in a container —can be detected by Snyk within a code repository or container image, and surfaced directly in Security Command Center. This unified view helps teams focus on high-priority issues, ensuring both cloud and application security issues are addressed effectively.

Key Benefits of the Snyk and Google Security Command Center Integration

This integration offers CISOs and their security teams several advantages:

• Centralized insights: Gain a comprehensive view of your organization’s security posture, spanning both cloud infrastructure and application workloads.

• Near real-time detection and response: Detect new vulnerabilities or misconfigurations as they emerge at any point of the SDLC, enabling swift action. Snyk’s hand-curated and enriched security metadata ensures timely, accurate, and actionable results.

For instance, if Snyk’s vulnerability database identifies a new critical issue in an open-source library used in a container running on Google Kubernetes Engine , this finding will appear in Security Command Center. Security teams can then ensure the issue is prioritized and addressed by development teams using Snyk’s actionable advice.

How to Configure the Integration

Setting up the Snyk integration with Security Command Center is quick and straightforward, taking just a few steps:

Create the Finding Source using the Security Command Center Console

• In the Security Command Center console, navigate to the Marketplace and search for Snyk. Alternatively, navigate directly to the Snyk for Google Security Command Center (SCC) marketplace listing.

• Click SIGN UP WITH PARTNER to install the Snyk for Security Command Center integration. During this process, you will create a Findings Source for Snyk and a Service Account with Security Center Findings Editor permissions.

• Navigate to Google Cloud IAM and locate the Service Account you created in the previous step, then create a service account key in JSON format.

• Make a note of the Source ID (Findings Source name) and the Service Account key, as you’ll need to provide them to the Snyk Web UI.

Set up the integration using the Snyk Web UI

• Navigate to your Snyk Group-level Integrations page (“Integrations Hub”).

• Click on the Google SCC integration tile.

• Enter a Profile name of your choice, then paste the values for Source ID (Findings Source name) and Service Account key that you created earlier.

• Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed the Snyk for Security Command Center integration.

With the integration configured, you’ll see findings from Snyk’s scans appear in Security Command Center within seconds, ready to be analyzed and acted upon.

The Snyk and Google Security Command Center integration brings together application and cloud security into a unified view, enabling organizations to identify and respond to vulnerabilities across their entire software supply chain through a single interface. This consolidated approach helps security teams make faster, more informed decisions while supporting modern development practices.
