Sunil Potti, General Manager and Vice President of Cloud Security at Google Cloud, and Ren Virbotla, Managing Director of Partner Engineering at Google Cloud, discuss Google Cloud's AI-powered security approach and the role of partners in delivering unified security offerings with Bob Evans.
Google Cloud AI Security Insights
Major topics:
Google’s ecosystem-based approach to security: Google Cloud’s ecosystem of partners, which consists of entities such as managed security service providers (MSSPs) and global system integrators, helps deliver top-notch security services. While Google maintains a small internal service capability, partners are key to scaling and expanding innovations for customers. Google provides AI tools to partners, who work to enhance their product offerings to better serve end customers. This model ensures access to the latest security advances, such as AI integration. Moving from assisted to autonomous security: Google Cloud envisions a future where AI evolves from assisted security workflows to fully autonomous security workflows. Currently, AI plays an assistive role by providing actionable insights to security teams, helping them prioritize threats and respond more effectively. However, the goal is to transform these capabilities into semi-autonomous workflows, with the potential to create fully autonomous security systems in the future. Boosting CISO efficiency with AI: One of the major issues facing CISOs today is the sheer volume of security alerts, making it difficult to identify and act on the most critical threats. Google Cloud addresses this problem by leveraging AI to sort through thousands of alerts, helping CISOs quickly identify the most critical risks. AI can provide real-time insights, suggest actions to mitigate potential threats, and reduce the noise from less urgent alerts.
Big quote: “AI is only as good as the data the model is trained on, and in the world of security, we probably have the highest quantity and highest quality dataset in the world for threat intelligence.”
