The world’s resources are increasingly scarce and yet too often they are wasted. At Veolia, we use waste to produce new resources, helping to build a circular economy that redefines growth with a focus on sustainability.Our sustainability mission transcends borders, and nearly 179,000 employees work in dozens of profit centers worldwide to bring it to life. It’s a massive operation that requires an IT architecture to match, which is why we’ve streamlined critical IT work across our global operations with Google Cloud. As Technical Lead and Product Manager for Veolia’s Google Cloud, it’s my team’s responsibility to standardize processes around security, governance, and compliance, and make sure our employees have all the right tools to do their best work, securely. Google Cloud’s Security Command Center (SCC) Premium is the core product that we use to protect our technology environment. We use it across 39 business units, spanning 31 countries worldwide.Fueling autonomy and keeping secure with Security Command Center In line with our sustainability motto “create once, then copy and adapt to reuse many times,” we encourage local teams to work autonomously. That includes their use of Google Cloud solutions. We use many Google Cloud products including BigQuery, Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Storage. Across the board, we’re working with Google Cloud in an agile and collaborative way to deliver smart water, waste, and energy solutions to communities globally.But there’s no agility without security, and it’s my team’s responsibility to make sure our environment is secure at all times. Because our Google Cloud environment is extensive, and we give individual business units autonomy over their use of cloud solutions, we also set the parameters and policies for them to operate with all compliance and security controls in place in an organized way. SCC Premium is the common tool that all our business units use to keep their individual projects and assets secure. It helps us to gain visibility over our entire Google Cloud environment and identify threats, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations with real-time insights. Gaining visibility to drive resultsHere’s that visibility in numbers: we use SCC Premium to monitor 2,800 projects with hundreds of thousands of assets. We continually observe our Google Cloud environment using SCC to quickly discover misconfigurations and respond to threats based on our latest findings. If an anomaly is revealed, we remediate incidents ourselves or alert respective business units. We’ve also started to consolidate our SCC findings in a global dashboard to give business units an overview of their security position, enabling them to take swift action.Streamlining remediation to curb threats and wasted resourcesAs our risk management platform for Google Cloud, SCC enables us to streamline the process of security management. It provides findings in near real-time and with all its insights, we can decide on the next steps and alert relevant parties to remediate misconfigurations. I really like the context and recommended actions that SCC provides for each of the findings. These recommendations help us to remediate incidents ourselves or alert project owners. This new visibility has already helped us remediate misconfigurations that could adversely affect our cloud services. SCC, for example, enabled us to identify firewall misconfigurations and it saved us around 500 hours when compared to pre-SCC times.Another benefit of the visibility we’ve gained with SCC is our ability to prioritize our security tasks and use our time more efficiently. As one of France’s biggest users of public cloud services, we have a lot of Google Cloud projects running, and a lot of ground to cover — from misconfigurations to imminent threats. Without SCC, it was difficult to identify patterns and adapt our priorities accordingly. Deleting unused service account keys, for example, used to be difficult, because we had to check service accounts for each project separately. With SCC, we identified unused keys and marked them for deletion. This has cut the time it takes us to delete unused service account keys by 1,000 hours. In addition, we use SCC to identify any misconfigurations like overly permissive roles associated with the service account and threats like service account self-investigation. Using SCC’s container threat detection, we can proactively identify threats like remote shell execution in our containers. For example, we were alerted to 1800 findings when a container with a remote shell inside had been duplicated. Thanks to SCC, we managed to identify the root cause and remediate these containers quickly. Stronger compliance, more easily achievedSCC also helps us to strengthen our compliance standards. Our Google Cloud environment needs to align with the CIS Google Cloud Computing Foundations Benchmark v1.1, which helps our organization to improve our overall security posture. Often, a lack of compliance simply means a lack of training. With our SCC findings, we don’t only evaluate where we stand, we are also able to educate our workforce to address issues proactively that help make us more compliant.Securing a sustainable future with Security Command CenterWe’ve already achieved a lot with SCC, and we are excited about the new capabilities we’re yet to explore. Currently, we’re working to implement auto-remediation to help us act on alerts immediately, whenever they occur. By connecting SCC with Pub/Sub, we’ll be able to trigger workflows that fix potential breaches automatically within minutes, by disabling accounts, for example. We also plan to use synergies with Google Workspace to send SCC findings directly to the project owners in real-time via Google Chat, ensuring that relevant employees are made aware of potential vulnerabilities right away.Like all our cloud solutions, we want to use SCC to empower our individual business units with the autonomy they need to pursue their own goals as part of our larger organization. It’s a great tool at their fingertips, helping us to reduce risk and cut down waste across our cloud environment as we work to resource the world more sustainably.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and like any cancer, early detection is crucial to survival. Screening at-risk populations is an important part of reducing mortality, and if concerning nodules are found on imaging, further testing may be required. Today, we’ll share how Northwell Health uses Google Cloud products such as Cloud Healthcare APIs and BigQuery to increase caregiver productivity and deliver better care for patients with findings that indicate potential development of lung cancer.Northwell is New York’s largest healthcare providerNorthwell Health is New York’s largest healthcare provider with 23 hospitals and nearly 800 outpatient facilities. Northwell’s nearly 4,000 doctors care for millions of patients each year, and at this scale, there is an immense amount of healthcare data to manage. To better manage and leverage this data, Northwell Health partnered with Google Cloud starting in 2018.Enabling caregivers to spend more time with patientsNic Lorenzen, the lead developer of Northwell Emerging Technology and Innovation team, has a mission to put together data for caregivers in a way that makes sense. It is no secret that inefficient electronic health records systems have a negative impact on a physician’s ability to deliver quality care. Traditional EHRs have information distributed across many tabs, which forces caregivers to spend considerable time at the computer trying to find information. Moreover, speed of care matters. If care is delayed, patients may have to spend more time in the hospital and may suffer worse health outcomes.To solve this problem, Nic’s team focused on giving caregivers the most relevant pieces of data at the right time by developing an intelligent clinician rounding app. The data needed to derive these insights can depend on the caregiver’s role–a nurse cares about different things than a cardiologist. This system aggregates multiple data sources, and provides patient-specific insights to caregivers.This system would not have been possible before with traditional EHRs and data warehouses that have proprietary data models and rarely sync data in real time. Now with data easily accessible through Google Cloud’s Healthcare solutions, Nic’s team can deliver the right clinical information to the right people instantly. These days, Nic says, “instead of spending 75% of our time dealing with architecting the underlying platforms, we spend 75% of our time focused on higher value use cases for clinicians and patients. Google Cloud’s Healthcare solutions have greatly improved our developer productivity and time to value.”Caregivers have found this new system to be a game changer.Before the implementation of this system, caregivers would spend, on average, seven to nine minutes finding the data needed to make medical decisions for one patient. Now, that aggregated information is delivered to a caregiver’s mobile device in less than a second.Ensuring patients get the right care with the power of AIThere are a number of reasons why patients might not get the care that they need. For example, patients today can go to multiple hospitals and clinics settings, and coordinating care across multiple facilities is complex. Regional hospitals and clinics have their own siloed view of their data, so pertinent information gathered by one clinic might not be seen by another. These gaps in clinical data lead to gaps in patient care.When a patient gets radiologic imaging, they may have findings unrelated to the reason they initially got the imaging. For example, a chest CT for a car accident might reveal an incidental lung nodule that could be cancerous. Unfortunately, research shows that a large portion of patients do not get follow up for these incidental findings because it isn’t the primary reason why the patient is seeing a doctor. Moreover, social determinants of health are a factor that affects which patients receive follow-up care. Identifying these patients and providing the necessary follow up care prevents adverse events related to delayed detection of cancer.Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LungMets2008.jpgWith Cloud Healthcare solutions, Northwell built an AI model to identify these patients so that oncologists can appropriately follow up with patients who have findings suspicious for lung cancer. The AI model detects incidental pulmonary nodules in radiology reports so that doctors can then contact the patients that need follow-up care. Nic says his team was able to build this system in a week: “Google Cloud did a lot of heavy-lifting for us and allowed us to get to the AI applications much faster. It allowed us to build a platform that just works.” Healthcare systems can now rapidly generate healthcare insights with one end-to-end solution, Google Cloud Healthcare Data Engine. It builds on and extends the core capabilities of the Google Cloud Healthcare APIto make healthcare data more immediately useful by enabling an interoperable, longitudinal record of patient data. Northwell Health uses Google Cloud as the core of their platform, enabling their developers to create solutions to the most pressing healthcare problems.Special thanks to Kalyan Pamarthy, Product Management Lead on Cloud Healthcare and Natural Language APIs for contributing to this blog post.Related ArticleRead Article
