Connect APVISO with Google Security Command Center

How APVISO Integrates with Google Security Command Center

APVISO's Google Security Command Center (SCC) integration exports penetration testing findings to your GCP security dashboard. For organizations running workloads on Google Cloud Platform, this integration centralizes vulnerability data from APVISO alongside GCP's native security findings, misconfigurations, and threat detections.

SCC Finding Export

APVISO registers as a custom source in Security Command Center and exports each vulnerability as an SCC finding. Findings include the vulnerability title, severity mapped to SCC's severity levels (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW), affected resource, category classification, and a detailed description with remediation guidance. A source properties section contains APVISO-specific data like CVSS score, scan ID, and finding permalink.

This approach makes APVISO findings first-class citizens in SCC, appearing alongside findings from GCP's built-in security services like Security Health Analytics, Event Threat Detection, and Web Security Scanner.

Asset Linking

The integration maps APVISO scan targets to GCP asset resource names. When an APVISO finding affects a web application hosted on GCP, the finding is linked to the relevant Cloud Run service, Compute Engine instance, GKE service, or Cloud Load Balancer. This asset linking provides context — security teams can see not just the vulnerability but also the GCP resource it affects, including the resource's configuration, network exposure, and IAM policies.

Compliance Dashboard Integration

Security Command Center's compliance features benefit from APVISO data. Penetration testing is required by multiple compliance frameworks, and APVISO findings contribute evidence that testing is performed and findings are tracked. SCC Premium's compliance dashboards aggregate findings across all sources, showing your organization's compliance posture including APVISO's penetration testing coverage.

Finding Lifecycle Management

APVISO manages finding states in SCC throughout the remediation lifecycle. New findings are created with an ACTIVE state. When a retest confirms that a vulnerability has been remediated, APVISO updates the SCC finding state to INACTIVE. This lifecycle management ensures that SCC accurately reflects your current vulnerability exposure rather than showing stale historical findings.

Notifications and Workflows

SCC's notification features work with APVISO findings. Configure Pub/Sub notifications for new APVISO findings, triggering Cloud Functions that create tickets, send alerts, or update external systems. SCC's integration with Chronicle SIEM enables correlation of APVISO findings with security event data for advanced threat analysis.
