Monitor: Establish machine-speed detection and rehearsed, active response
Even with a hardened foundation, true resilience requires constant vigilance in runtime. While code-level scanning pipelines are excellent at catching flaws before deployment, they cannot block an active exploit. AI Threat Defense shifts operations from manual oversight to machine-speed detection and real-time defense.
As exposure cycles accelerate, AI Threat Defense builds resilience by establishing a consistent operational framework — informed by Mandiant’s frontline expertise — where ownership is defined and outcomes are tracked.
To support active defense against automated adversaries, AI Threat Defense leverages autonomous agents, enabling teams to rapidly hunt for hidden threats, investigate suspicious activity, and respond to live attacks in real time. Together with AI Threat Defense, agentic security operations center (SOC) capabilities from Google Security Operations further enable automated detections, triage and investigation, and hunting of emerging anomalies across your network, identity, and application telemetry. This provides an ongoing monitoring capability to help you discover vulnerabilities before your adversaries do.
Finally, the platform secures the environment from the ground up, minimizing the attack surface right from the start using hardened container images built, signed, and verified daily.
How our partners use AI Threat Defense
To realize the full potential of autonomous defense, our customers are increasingly teaming up with trusted strategic advisors to guide their cloud security journey. Our ecosystem partners, including Accenture, Deloitte, Netenrich, PwC, and TENEX.AI, bring the critical expertise needed to assess your unique cloud architecture and embed AI-driven security capabilities into your existing development pipelines.
Beyond initial deployment of AI Threat Defense, these partners will deliver continuous management, custom harness building, and tailored security workflows. Together, we will help ensure that threats are being identified at machine speed and being automatically remediated, aligning with your organization’s specific operational and compliance requirements.
The path forward: Outpacing the adversary with AI
The collapse of the exploit window has made one thing clear: Human-speed vulnerability management is no longer a viable strategy for enterprise risk. The era of machine-speed attacks demands an autonomous, continuous defense.
By combining the contextual risk prioritization of Wiz, the code remediation capabilities of CodeMender, the intelligence of Gemini, and the frontline expertise of Mandiant, we provide the architecture needed to match the speed of the adversary. AI Threat Defense also uses a variety of models to enable organizations to find the largest collection of vulnerabilities while managing costs enabling you to scan, remediate, and maintain your software assets on an ongoing basis.
A key part of our approach is the Google Cloud CISO Community, our close partnership with an important, growing community of industry leaders. This group includes executives from companies including Morgan Stanley, MSCI, TELUS, and Thales. Together, we are building real-time ideas into solutions and shaping the future of AI defense.
To ensure that your enterprise doesn’t just keep pace with automated adversaries, but consistently outpaces them, learn more about how Google AI Threat Defense can help you fight AI with AI.
