Chronicle Folds into Google

Alphabets enterprise cybersecurity division will become part of the Google security portfolio.

Chronicle, the enterprise cybersecurity division spun out of Alphabets X — the search giants moonshot factory incubator — is being swallowed by corporate sibling Google to become part of the Google Cloud. The move will make Chronicle part of the Google security portfolio, joining Google Clouds detection, incident management, and remediation services.
In a
blog post
announcing the move, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian wrote that Chronicles VirusTotal and Backstory products are intended to add to the depth of the services Google can offer customers to secure their workflows and data in the cloud and on-premises.
Backstory, Chronicles first analytics product, was
announced
at the RSA Conference in March. It joined VirusTotal, a virus detection and protection service that had been the companys first commercial offering starting in 2018.
The combination of Chronicles analytics services and Google Clouds big-data expertise seems likely to position the new Chronicle as a competitor to Splunk, LogRhythm, ArcSight, and companies with similar analytics offering.
The absorption of Chronicle follows Alphabets integration of smart-home component manufacturer Nest into Google. According to Kurian, the reason for the integration is straightforward. With the trajectories of Chronicle and Google Cloud increasingly converging in response to customer needs, we want to bring these essential capabilities together for customers, he wrote in the blog post.
Integration is expected to be completed by this fall.
