Supercharge Threat Hunting: Team Cymru Pure Signal™ Scout Now Integrated with Google SecOps

For Security Teams: Network Intelligence Meets Cloud-Scale Analytics

Security teams face a critical external visibility gap: While endpoint and log data provide a fragment of the story, network flows from internet traffic reveal the full narrative of an attacker's behavior. It helps answer questions like ‘How did they get it, and where from?’, ‘Are they targeting my suppliers?’ and ‘Where will they strike from next?’. Today, Team Cymru bridges this visibility gap with our official integration between Pure Signal™ Scout and Google SecOps. This powerful combination delivers internet-scale netflow intelligence directly into your security operations workflow, transforming raw metadata into context-rich, actionable threat intelligence.

The Fortune 100's Missing Link: Connecting Pure Signal to Google SecOps

The driving force behind our new integration comes directly from the world's leading enterprises. We recognized that many of our Fortune 100 customers have standardized on Google SecOps, creating strong demand for a native Pure Signal Scout integration. To ensure our solution met the rigorous demands of these mature security operations, we collaborated closely with teams we knew had power users. This crucial feedback enabled us to refine our design, ensuring that the integration seamlessly enriches Google’s native UDM (Unified Data Model) to empower analysts within their primary investigation platform.

Why NetFlow is the Investigator's Missing Lens

NetFlow provides the connective tissue for threat actor reconnaissance, attack reconstruction, and breach recovery, revealing critical patterns traditional tools don’t provide, such as:

Real-time visibility of ransomware victims among the supply chain for pre-emptive defensive actions
Obfuscated C2 communications within seemingly legitimate traffic that help to confirm breach recovery success
Data exfiltration patterns that are invisible to endpoint agents that provide focus and prioritize during incident response
Proactive defenses made possible through mapping multi-tiered threat actor infrastructure for predictive intelligence

Pure Signal Scout enhances internet-wide observations with enriched context from Team Cymru's global threat intelligence. Threat analysts and researchers gain insights from over 300B+ netflow records daily from across the globe, that is enriched with over 2100 tags for actionable intelligence that helps to drive faster decisions.

How Scout Transforms Google SecOps Workflows

Three Key Use Cases (Direct from Our Deployment Guide):

1. Incident Response: Detecting Malicious Activity

Identify compromised assets communicating with known bad actors using Scout's real-time IP reputation scoring:
- > When Google SecOps flags suspicious DNS queries, Scout immediately verifies if the resolved IPs are connecting to botnets or active C2 infrastructure."

2. Threat Research: Investigating Compromised Hosts

Reconstruct attack timelines with bidirectional netflow data::
- > After an EDR alert on ransomware execution, Scout reveals the full infection chain—from initial exploit kit download to lateral movement and data exfiltration volumes."*

3. Supply Chain Breach Detection: Identifying Data Exfiltration

Spot abnormal outbound flows masked as common protocols:
- > Scout revealed a substantial volume of 'SSH' traffic from a database server to a bulletproof hosting provider—missed by perimeter tools due to encryption.

Custom Resources to Accelerate Value: SecOps Playbooks and Blocks to drive automated actions

We've built battle-tested components for immediate deployment:

Pre-Built Detection Rules: YARA-L rules identifying beaconing, scanning & data theft

Response Playbooks: Automated workflows for containment and investigation

Enrichment Templates: One-click asset context expansion (IP reputation, geo-location, ASN)
