Google Security Command Center

Release status

The Google Cloud Security Command Center integration is in Early Access, and is available only with Snyk Enterprise plans. For more information, see Plans and pricing.

The Google Cloud Security Command Center (SCC) integration sends Snyk issues to SCC, enabling you to view and manage Snyk issues alongside cloud security findings from Google Cloud in a single viewpoint. Snyk issues are represented in SCC as code security findings. When Snyk issues are updated, corresponding SCC findings are automatically updated as well. All details are available at the Organization level in the Google Cloud Security Command Center (SCC) integration.

Use the following instructions to set up the integration:

• Navigate to Marketplace in the SCC Console and search for Snyk.

• Follow the guided path to create a Findings Source and Service Account.

Service Accounts are not available at the Organization level in Google Cloud IAM. You must create a Service Account in a specific Project. Snyk recommends creating the Service Account in a Project that is already being monitored by SCC. You must enable the SCC API in the same Project as the Service Account.

• Copy the Findings Source ID and Service Account Token (JSON) into the Snyk Web UI

Prerequisites

• A Snyk user account with permissions to edit and view Group integrations

• A Google Cloud organization with Security Command Center enabled. See the Google Cloud Activate Security Command Center page for more details on how to enable it.

• You must enable the SCC API in the same Project as the Service Account

Create the findings source using the Google Cloud SCC console

• In the SCC console, navigate to Marketplace and search for Snyk. Alternatively, navigate directly to the Snyk for SCC marketplace listing.

• Click SIGN UP WITH PARTNER to install the Snyk for SCC integration. During this process, you will create a Findings Source for Snyk and a Service Account with Security Center Findings Editor permissions.

Important Identity and Access Management (IAM) Configuration for Security Command Center

The setup process will grant the Snyk Service Account the Security Center Findings Editor role on the Project you select. However, how you use Security Command Center determines if an additional step is needed.

• If you use Google SCC at the Organization level (most common for businesses):

  • You must also add an IAM policy binding at the Organization level.

  • Grant the Snyk Service Account the Security Center Findings Editor role there as well. This is required because Snyk posts findings to your Organization's central SCC dashboard.

• If you use Google SCC in a standalone, Project-level mode: No extra steps are needed. The Project-level permission is sufficient.

• Navigate to Google Cloud IAM and locate the Service Account you created in the previous step, then create a service account key in JSON format.

• Make a note of the Source ID (Findings Source name) and the Service Account Key, as you will need to provide them to the Snyk Web UI.

You can then set up the integration in Snyk using the Snyk Web UI.
