BigQuery
Feature
BigQuery now supports a RANDOM_HASH predefined masking rule. This rule returns
a hash of the column’s value using a salted hash algorithm, and it provides
stronger security than the standard Hash (SHA-256) rule.
For more information, see Data masking rules.
Feature
BigQuery now offers conversational analytics, which accelerates data analysis by enabling insights through natural language. Users can view a predefined sample agent, chat with their BigQuery data or custom agents, and access those agents even outside of BigQuery. They can also use supported BigQuery ML functions in verified queries and in chat. This feature is in Preview.
Feature
You can now create BigQuery ML models by using the Google Cloud console.
This feature is generally available (GA).
Dataplex
Feature
You can control data lineage ingestion for Dataproc at the organization, folder, or project level. This feature is in Preview. For more information, see Control lineage ingestion.
Google Cloud VMware Engine
Announcement
Stretched private clouds capable of hosting both ve1 and ve2 node-family
clusters are now available in the following regions:
- Sydney, Australia, Asia Pacific (
australia-southeast1-a,australia-southeast1-b) - Frankfurt, Germany, Europe (
europe-west3-a,europe-west3-b)

Google SecOps
Feature
Rule observability for detections and alerts
New metadata is now included in all detection and alert objects, indicating if
the detection was produced during a primary rule run or through a
rule replay. This information can be
used in dashboards and as a filter in the Alerts lister page using the field
collection.detection_timing_details.
Google SecOps SIEM
Feature
Enhanced rule observability for detections
Google SecOps now provides increased visibility into detection timing to help
improve dashboard and reporting accuracy. You can now easily distinguish whether
a detection was generated during a primary rule run or through a
rule replay. This data is available
in dashboards and as a filter in the Alerts lister page using the field
collection.detection_timing_details.
