Google Cloud has announced a bunch of new AI-backed security capabilities at its Security Summit 2025. The latest updates focus on three key areas: securing AI applications, using AI to boost cyber defenses, and expanding its unified security platform with automated threat response features.
The highlight of Google’s announcement is its push for “agentic SOCs” (security operations centers), where AI agents work autonomously alongside human analysts. These AI systems are designed to handle the repetitive work of triage, data collection, and alert investigation, tasks that traditionally consume hours of analysts’ time.
