Google launches unified enterprise security platform, announces AI security agents

Google has launched a new enterprise security platform called Google Unified Security that combines the company’s visibility, threat detection, and incident response capabilities and makes it available across networks, endpoints, cloud infrastructure, and apps. The platform combines threat intelligence from internal and third-party sources with expertise from Google’s Mandiant incident response arm and new AI-powered agents that can automatically triage and investigate alerts.

“Google Unified Security brings together what we are best at — scale, search, analytics — and applies it to security use cases,” Brian Roddy, VP of cloud security at Google Cloud, said during a press briefing attended by CSO. “It offers unmatched threat visibility, cloud security, the most trusted browser, and Mandiant expertise all in one converged security suite powered by Gemini AI and, of course, running on Google’s planet-scale infrastructure.”

The goal, according to Roddy, is to enable organizations to better respond to security challenges brought by increasingly complex IT infrastructures that are targeted with sophisticated attacks by both cybercriminal groups and state-sponsored threat actors.
