Migrate to the GCP Security Command Center Cloud Collector

The GCP Security Command Center Cloud Collector enables you to ingest logs into the New-Scale Security Operations Platform. If you previously used the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud Connector and want to take advantage of the Cloud Collectors service, migration to the new Cloud Collector is recommended. Before you migrate, consider the following:

  • License Requirements: No additional license is required. The Cloud Collectors app is included with your existing license.

  • SaaS Cloud Connectors Support: Both the SaaS Cloud Connectors and the new Cloud Collectors environments can run in parallel.

The following table indicates the GCP Cloud Connector's endpoints that map to the new GCP Security Command Center Cloud Collector.

If you want to collect raw data (logs) necessary for security analysis, use the the GCP Cloud Logging Cloud Collector. If you want to collect data related to security findings, asset details, configurations, and threat intelligence from Google Cloud services, use the GCP Security Command Center Cloud Collector.

When you are ready to migrate:

  1. Stop the specific endpoints for the GCP Cloud Connector.

  2. Wait for the running tasks to complete. The user interface indicates the time required for task completion.

  3. Complete the prerequisites for configuring the GCP Security Command Center Cloud Collector.

  4. Follow the steps to configure the GCP Security Command Center Cloud Collector.
