Detection Engineering with Google Cloud

Detection Engineering with Google Cloud

Detection rules aren’t just for fun—they’re critical for securing cloud environments. But are you using them the right way? In this episode, Ashish Rajan sits down with David French, Staff Adoption Engineer for Security at Google Cloud, to break down how organizations can scale Detection as Code across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

  • Why prevention isn’t enough—and how detection fills the gap
  • The biggest mistakes in detection rules that could blow up your SOC
  • How to scale detections across hundreds (or thousands) of cloud accounts
  • The ROI of Detection as Code—why security leaders should care
  • Common low-hanging fruit detections every cloud security team should implement

David has spent over a decade working in detection engineering, threat hunting, and building SIEM & EDR products. He shares real-world insights on how companies can improve their detection strategies and avoid costly security missteps.
