Google SecOps Forwarder Deprecation: Migrate to Bindplane and OpenTelemetry
Google Cloud Security Operations is deprecating the legacy SecOps Forwarder, and OpenTelemetry with Bindplane is the official telemetry ingestion method.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to migrate from the SecOps Forwarder to Bindplane and OpenTelemetry Collectors, the officially supported ingestion model for Google SecOps going forward. We walk through the why, the what, and the how — with practical guidance you can apply immediately.
You’ll see how Bindplane uses OpenTelemetry Collectors to provide a more scalable, secure, and flexible telemetry ingestion layer, while giving you centralized fleet management, safer rollouts, and full control over your pipelines.
What you’ll learn:
- Why the Google SecOps Forwarder is being deprecated
- How OpenTelemetry Collectors replace the Forwarder
- How Bindplane fits into the SecOps ingestion architecture
- OTel Collector deployment options
- How to configure advanced data processing and filtering
- How to migrate existing log sources and configurations
- How Bindplane enables silent host monitoring
This session is ideal for teams preparing for the transition ahead of the deprecation timeline and looking to modernize their security telemetry pipelines using OpenTelemetry.
