Upstream’s Cybersecurity Detection & Response (XDR) for Connected Vehicles and IoT is Now Available on Google Cloud Marketplace and Integrates with Google Security Operations
Ann Arbor, MI – October 30, 2024 – Upstream Security, a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions for connected vehicles IoT, is excited to announce that its platform is now available on the Google Cloud Marketplace as well as integrates with Google Security Operations. This strategic move allows customers to easily purchase, deploy, and scale Upstream’s industry-leading platform on Google Cloud and enhance enterprise-wide security operations.
Leveraging the Power of Google Cloud to Extract Cyber Insights Over Massive Datasets
As a comprehensive cybersecurity solution designed specifically for the automotive and smart mobility ecosystem, Upstream offers unparalleled protection against cyber threats targeting connected vehicles, mobility applications, and devices. By deploying on Google Cloud, Upstream leverages native Google Cloud services–including BigQuery–enhancing its ability to deliver robust and scalable cybersecurity solutions.
Upstream’s unique GenerativeAI layer, Ocean AI, can now be deployed directly in customers’ Google Cloud environment to empower the vehicle SOC (vSOC) with efficiencies and optimizations to manage attacks at scale. Ocean AI enables users to ask straightforward, conversational, and natural language questions to retrieve insights from the vast data sets analyzed by Upstream’s XDR that powers the vSOC. Utilizing large language models (LLMs), Ocean AI analyzes data from diverse sources and mobility assets within the Google Cloud environment, draws complex insights, and performs sophisticated investigations.
“We are thrilled to expand our relationship with Google by joining the Google Cloud Marketplace,” said Yoav Levy, CEO and cofounder at Upstream Security. “This collaboration allows us to provide our customers with enhanced flexibility and scalability, utilizing the robust capabilities of Google Cloud. Our customers can now benefit from seamless deployment and integration with Google Cloud services, accelerating their path to stronger cybersecurity posture.”
Supporting a Shift-Left Approach with Google Security Operations
In addition to leveraging the scale of Google Cloud, mutual customers also benefit from enhanced resilience by adding Upstream’s alerts and cybersecurity insights to Google Security Operations through a technical integration now available. Through Google Security Operations, customers can realize a comprehensive enterprise-wide security operations approach to enhance insights, detections and response capabilities across otherwise siloed organizations. This technical integration helps effectively utilize a shift-left approach by ensuring cross-organizational visibility and proactive mitigation for emerging cyber risks across business, manufacturing, and operational systems.
“As vehicles become increasingly connected, the potential for damaging cyber threats targeting them grows exponentially. The combination of Upstream Security, Google Cloud, and Google Security Operations offers a proactive, enterprise-wide approach to combat threats at a global scale,” said Vinod D’Souza, Head of Manufacturing and Industry for the Google Cloud Office of the CISO. “Upstream Security’s expertise in automotive cybersecurity aligns with our commitment to enable secure digital transformations across the automotive ecosystem, including protection for the next generation of connected and software-defined vehicles.”
