In the healthcare and life sciences industries, speed saves lives, but meeting regulatory requirements and other administrative burdens often pumps the brakes for manufacturers of software as a medical device (SaMD). These devices include AI image analysis for cancer detection, diagnostic mobile apps for viewing MRIs, and software that …

As AI coding agents become deeply embedded in developer workflows, defenders must evolve their definition of malicious files and rethink how to protect against them. Autonomous AI agents operate across integrated development environments (IDEs), editors, terminals, and extension runtimes, and they often have access to local files, command execution …

At Google, we see firsthand how cyber threats can outpace traditional defense mechanisms — and how agentic threat intelligence can help bridge the gap. We have a vision for agentic defense where autonomous AI agents, powered by Gemini and fed by our unmatched threat visibility, can reason through complex malware …

The AI era demands a fundamental shift in security, and that includes identity and access management (IAM). Traditional controls simply aren’t built for autonomous AI agents that interact with sensitive data at machine speed, a reality we address with our new IAM advancements for the agentic enterprise era …

Managing agents and their actions can quickly grow in complexity and introduce security risks unique to AI. To address these challenges, at Google Cloud Next we announced Agent Gateway to provide simple, secure, and governed connectivity across all user-to-agent, agent-to-agent, and agent-to-tools interactions. As part of Gemini Enterprise Agent …

Welcome to the second Cloud CISO Perspectives for April 2026. Today, Francis deSouza, COO Google Cloud and President, Security Products, explains why Google is multicloud and multi-AI, straight from Next ‘26. As with all Cloud CISO Perspectives, the contents of this newsletter are posted to the Google Cloud blog …

Security teams are frequently burdened with manually stitching together telemetry, alerts, and response playbooks. This fragmentation can limit visibility, increase alert fatigue, and slow down investigations. Defending the modern enterprise requires tools that work together. Today at Google Cloud Next, we are thrilled to announce a robust cohort of …

The agentic web — where autonomous AI agents reason, plan, and execute complex transactions using the open web and industry standard protocols — aims to create an autonomous customer experience. While these agents can significantly enhance online interactions, they also introduce new abuse and fraud vectors, creating unique challenges for security …

Welcome to the first Cloud CISO Perspectives for April 2026. Today, Thiébaut Meyer and Lia Wertheimer from Google Cloud’s Office of the CISO share Thiébaut’s conversation with Matt Rowe, chief security officer, Lloyds Banking Group, on how security leaders can simultaneously pursue technical and cultural resilience. As …

The rapid evolution of AI is redefining industries, while also exposing organizations to new risks. At Google Cloud, we believe that modern cloud defense should have AI protection built in and accessible by default, delivering native guardrails and controls that are essential to ensuring that security strengthens your AI …

Enterprises are rapidly moving AI workloads from experimentation to production on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), using its scalability to serve powerful inference endpoints. However, as these models handle increasingly sensitive data, they introduce unique AI-driven attack vectors — from prompt injection to sensitive data leakage — that traditional firewalls aren't designed …

In today’s global economy, data is a strategic asset. For many organizations — particularly those in highly regulated industries and the public sector — the ability to innovate with AI is often balanced against the rigorous requirements of data sovereignty, residency, and operational autonomy. We are proud to announce that …

In a cloud-first world, traditional IP-based defenses are no longer enough to protect your perimeter. As services migrate to shared infrastructure and content delivery networks, relying on static IP addresses and FQDNs can create security gaps. Because single IP addresses can host multiple services, and IPs addresses can change …

Welcome to the second Cloud CISO Perspectives for March 2026. Today, Nick Godfrey details his conversation with Francis deSouza at RSA Conference, and how it’s part of our approach to bold and responsible AI use. As with all Cloud CISO Perspectives, the contents of this newsletter are posted …
