Generative AI has helped companies like Google develop stronger defensive cybersecurity solutions, able to identify threats and take action against them more efficiently. In its latest offering, Google is combining some of its best threat intelligence with AI to improve teams' cybersecurity operations.
On Monday, at the RSA conference, Google unveiled Google Threat Intelligence, a new Google Cloud security offering for enterprises that aims to provide “unparalleled visibility into the global threat landscape,” according to the statement.

The value of Google Threat Intelligence lies in its various knowledge streams, which include Google's own threat insights from billions of signals, Mandiant's frontline expertise, VirusTotal's insights from its global community of over 1 million users, and open source intelligence from the security communities.
Organizations can leverage this view of the threat landscape to guide their own approaches. “This comprehensive offering allows Google Threat Intelligence to help protect your organization in multiple ways, including external threat monitoring, attack surface management, digital risk protection, Indicators of Compromise (IOC) analysis, and expertise,” Google said in the statement.
Within the Google Threat Intelligence offering, Google also includes Gemini 1.5 Pro to work with insights and drive threat intelligence operations, such as scanning and responding to threats more quickly and efficiently, as shown in the image below.
Google Threat Intelligence uses Gemini to analyze potentially malicious code and provide a summary of its findings.
Gemini 1.5 Pro has the largest contextual window within Google's Gemini model family, with support for up to 1 million tokens. Google Threat Intelligence leverages that window to perform manual and time-consuming threat intelligence tasks, such as condensing large data sets in seconds, reverse engineering malware, analyzing files, producing custom summaries, and more, according to the statement.
Google offers Google Threat Intelligence as part of its comprehensive security portfolio for Google Cloud Security. To gain access, you'll need to contact a Google Cloud sales professional.
