AI-driven defense is changing the cybersecurity industry in ways that defenders have long hoped for, and Google Security is bringing its most significant capabilities yet to RSA Conference. With the agentic security operations center as our foundation, and empowered by the unprecedented reasoning capabilities of the newest Gemini models, we are supercharging the defender’s advantage.
Today we’re announcing advancements across our portfolio, including what’s next with Wiz, the release of M-Trends 2026 with insights derived from Mandiant investigations of novel attacks, and a critical evolution in how we apply threat intelligence. Read on to learn the latest ways Google Security helps you proactively secure what’s next.
Welcoming Wiz to Google Cloud
Google has officially completed its acquisition of Wiz. By bringing two industry leaders together, we will build a comprehensive, AI-ready cybersecurity platform designed to protect your organization across all your cloud environments.
We believe that by simplifying multicloud security, we enable you to innovate with confidence, regardless of where your data and applications reside. On that note, we are excited to share the newest ways Wiz is enabling organizations to adopt AI quickly and securely with their AI-Application Protection Platform (AI-APP), while enabling security teams to move at machine speed with their red, blue, and green security agents.

M-Trends 2026: Actionable insights from 500k+ hours of incident investigations
Today, we published M-Trends 2026 to help organizations better understand the evolving threat landscape and how to keep defenses current. Mandiant is seeing both high-velocity hand-offs at initial access and stealthy, multi-year intrusions.
Adversaries are no longer just stealing data. Cybercriminals are increasingly operating like highly-efficient businesses, establishing partnerships that have collapsed the window for defenders to intervene from hours down to just 22 seconds. They want to completely dismantle an organization’s ability to restore operations while maximizing their extortion leverage. Download today for actionable insights.
We’ve also recently published a new report from Mandiant on AI risk and resilience that examines the intersection of adversary behavior and enterprise defense. Grounded in exclusive data from 2025 Mandiant Consulting engagements and Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) research, this report details how over the last year adversaries have transitioned from experimental AI use to deploying adaptive tools and autonomous agents capable of rewriting their own code in real-time.
To address the risks identified, especially with the proliferation of shadow AI and lack of asset visibility, organizations should move beyond passive governance to continual red teaming, stress-testing models and agents. Simultaneously, we should fully embrace the speed and analytical power stemming from AI-powered defense.
Agentic defense with Google Security
Attacks at machine speed require defense at machine speed and traditional, predefined playbooks are inherently limited in their ability to address novel threats. New agentic automation in Google Security Operations, now in preview, allows security teams to augment automated actions with agents — combining dynamic and adaptive AI with deterministic automation.
Google Security Operations users can embed agents, including our Triage and Investigation agent, directly into workflows to accelerate mean time to respond. The Triage and Investigation agent autonomously investigates alerts, gathers evidence for analysis, and provides verdicts with comprehensive explanations.
This information can help security analysts automate decision-making, alert closure, and remediation flows, allowing them to spend more time prioritizing high-priority threats instead of false positives. The ability to build workflows that can call this agent will further decrease friction for security teams as they work to orchestrate their response.
