Today we’re introducing Google AI Threat Defense - a comprehensive AI-powered cybersecurity solution designed to help continuously monitor for and stop AI-powered threats before they can impact your business. Here’s how it works:
1. AI Threat Defense uses our cybersecurity platform @wiz_io to scan and prioritize what applications and systems have the highest security risk.
2. Gemini and other frontier AI models can then autonomously perform continual deep scanning of your applications - starting with those at the highest risk - to identify security vulnerabilities.
3. The capabilities of CodeMender - a new software repair agent - are then used to verify and accelerate the patching of vulnerabilities.
4. And our @wiz_io autonomous agents continuously test your systems to find unknown vulnerabilities before adversaries do so that you can remediate them before you are attacked.
While other model providers focus on using AI to find and flag vulnerabilities, Google AI Threat Defense actively prioritizes your most critical real-world risks and accelerates their remediation using a variety of models since no single model finds a superset of the vulnerabilities found by all other models.
