The bank would deploy Google Cloud’s security analytics platform Chronicle, which acts as a single place to store, predict and analyse security threats.
BBVA chief security officer Álvaro Garrido said: “This partnership represents a leap forward for the bank and allows us to be at the forefront in preventing threats to the security of our financial infrastructure and our clients.
“The platform surprised us in its ability to quickly and accurately mitigate possible threats. Google Cloud’s Chronicle meets our expectations and will be a magnificent partner in this transformation of our security posture, just as Google Cloud has been in other areas of the bank.”
Additionally, the Spanish bank will integrate its security platform with Google Cloud’s AI platform to launch ‘Security Operations Center (SOC) of the Future’ initiative.
