[Spotlight Feature] Event simulation for detection coverage evaluation

This feature is in public preview. You can now programmatically deliver realistic threat sequences into the live ingestion pipeline using event simulation. Event simulation provides a full-funnel detection coverage evaluation framework embedded directly within Google SecOps, enabling detection engineering and SOC teams to verify the entire detection lifecycle—from UDM normalization to multi-event correlation and alerting—while preserving production SOC workflows.

As a core capability of the Detection Engineering Agent (DEA) architecture, event simulation connects Google SecOps MCP tools with AI assistance (such as Gemini) to automate threat intel processing, synthetic telemetry generation, and YARA-L 2.0 rule coverage evaluation.
