Google Cloud launches Google AI Threat Defense for enterprise AI-powered cyber defense
Initial DisclosureGoogle Cloud announced Google AI Threat Defense, an always-on autonomous cybersecurity platform for enterprises designed to detect and stop AI-powered cyberattacks faster. The platform combines Mandiant’s frontline and incident response experience with Wiz’s cloud security platform and Gemini’s reasoning and code remediation capabilities through Gemini and CodeMender to map exposures, validate attack paths, prioritize critical risks, and generate verified fixes. Google says the system is built to move vulnerability remediation toward minutes while also enabling machine-speed detection, real-time defense, and consistent ownership of response outcomes.
