NYC Cyber Command builds SRE-backed threat-management/analytics platform on Google Cloud

Use case typeRisk assessmentUpdated Jun 13, 2026

New York City Cyber Command (NYC3) built a security log aggregation platform on Google Cloud to keep city security systems available 24/7 and support risk alerts, visualization, and analytics for 100+ city agencies. The organization adapted Google’s Site Reliability Engineering model, created an internal SRE team, and trained/cross-trained engineers across development, networking, and operations to improve reliability and supportability. NYC3’s internally developed Juggernaut threat-management system parses real-time cybersecurity data from disparate sources and alerts the team when something seems amiss.
