Google Security Operations SIEM release notes

[Spotlight Feature] Analyze feed activity with Cloud Logging

This feature is in public preview. To use this feature, your Google SecOps instance must be configured with a Bring Your Own Project (BYOP) Google Cloud project. You can now monitor, debug, and troubleshoot Google SecOps SIEM ingestion pipelines and feeds using Cloud Logging. By sending, viewing, and querying ingestion and feed activity logs in Logs Explorer, you can diagnose log delivery issues, such as, missing, delayed, or failing logs, and decrease the time required to resolve ingestion anomalies.

This visibility into push- and pull-based ingestion mechanisms provides the following capabilities:

• Investigate telemetry: Use Gemini Cloud Assist to investigate logging and metrics telemetry directly from the Google SecOps console.
• Debug feeds: Use the Debug with logs option on the Feed management page to open Logs Explorer pre-filtered for a specific feed.
• Filter routed logs: Configure exclusion filters in the Log Router to exclude specific logs, such as Storage Transfer Service (STS) logs, from being routed to Cloud Logging.

For more information, see Analyze feed activity with Cloud Logging.

[Spotlight Feature] Deprecation of Google Security Operations legacy SIEM APIs

Google Security Operations is deprecating its legacy SIEM APIs—Backstory API (including Customer Management API) and Ingestion API—in favor of the modern Chronicle API.

Key dates

• October 26, 2026: New Google SecOps instances provisioned from this date will no longer support legacy API calls.
• July 20, 2027: All requests to legacy endpoints fail from this date because legacy APIs for all existing instances will be completely turned down.

This change applies only to custom scripts, integrations, SOAR connectors, or ingestion feeds calling legacy Backstory API or Ingestion API endpoints. Any changes impacting the Google SecOps UI are already addressed and don't call for your action.

Next steps

• Audit API usage to identify any affected components that currently call legacy Backstory API or Ingestion API endpoints, and replace them with Chronicle API endpoints.

• Validate and test that your updated components work properly.

For more information, see Migrate from legacy API to Chronicle API.

Advanced Filtering in Dashboards

This feature is in public preview.

Advanced Filtering in dashboards is now available in Google SecOps. This feature enhances dashboard capabilities by enabling security analysts to use query variables, also known as tokens, to inject dynamic values, complex regular expressions, or boolean logic directly into YARA-L queries at runtime.

Key aspects of Advanced Filtering include:

• Token Variable Definition: When creating an advanced filter, you can define a Token Variable. Token variable names must consist only of alphanumeric characters and underscores (^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$) and must be unique within the dashboard.
• Filter Value Generation: Token values can be generated dynamically from YARA-L query results or entered manually as a static list.
• Customizable Wrappers: You can specify prefixes and suffixes to wrap token values, enabling specific logic such as regular expressions.
• Multi-Select Support: The ability to select multiple options for a token can be enabled, with a configurable delimiter (for example, |) for combining values in queries.

For more information, see Advanced filtering.

Parser extensions for code snippets now support Append/Replace for Repeated Fields

You can now use append and replace functionality for repeated fields when creating code snippet extensions. Previously, this was only available for no-code extensions. This enhancement provides more granular control over how data is handled in repeated UDM fields, allowing you to either add new values or entirely replace existing ones.

For more information, see Repeated fields selector.

[Spotlight Feature] Security Tokens

Security Tokens are now available for metering agentic consumption within Google SecOps. Tokens are consumed by generally available security agents only. These agents are invoked automatically or manually using the web interface, CLI, chat, or Model Context Protocol (MCP). Assistive features, such as standard chat panels and automated summaries, along with preview agents, won't consume Security Tokens.

Security Tokens will start rolling out across all regions starting July 1. For more information, see Google SecOps Agentic SOC Security Tokens pricing and billing.

Increased multiple event limits

Multiple event rule limits have been increased to 200 for Enterprise customers and 400 for Enterprise+ customers.

For more information, see Package comparison

Unified rules interface

The new rules interface is now available in public preview.

The Google SecOps unified rules interface brings custom and curated rule management into a single, cohesive workflow. This optimizes detection engineering with a redesigned dashboard, an advanced rule editor, and expanded API capabilities to streamline rule deployment and troubleshooting.

You can still revert to the legacy experience. At the top right of the screen, click Switch to the legacy experience.

For more information about the Unified rules interface, see Manage unified rules.
