Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google recently landed a deal with NATO that investors should watch closely. The military alliance picked Google Cloud to upgrade its digital systems. While the exact dollar amount remains under wraps, these government contracts can often stretch into hundreds of millions over time.
NATO will gain access to specialized cloud technology that runs entirely off-grid, which is essential for classified military information. Google calls this setup "air-gapped," and it's designed for the Joint Analysis, Training and Education Center to run artificial intelligence (AI) tools and data analysis without any security vulnerabilities.
