Google’s cloud unit has launched a platform integrating its threat intelligence and cybersecurity operations services with generative artificial intelligence.
The company, owned by
Alphabet Inc.,
said Monday that it has combined existing services including its Mandiant cyber intelligence unit and Chronicle security operations platform with its Vertex AI infrastructure, and an AI model named Sec-PaLM, to create the Google Cloud Security AI Workbench.
The goal is to allow analysts to upload potentially harmful code to Sec-PaLM for analysis, receive breach alerts from Mandiant, and use an AI chat feature to interact with Google’s library of historical security data through Chronicle. This data includes information gathered from protecting Google’s own systems as well as protecting Google Cloud customers, plus Mandiant’s data and other information gathered from widely used products, such as Google’s Chrome browser.
The generative AI, developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, allows users to have conversations with the platform without having to learn specialized vocabularies, said
Sunil Potti,
vice president and general manager of security at Google Cloud. The AI will look at sample malware, determine ways hackers could breach a system, and produce explanations that can be read and understood quickly, he said.
“We do a lot of work around security for preserving our consumer space, as well as our enterprise customers, so we thought, can we do something in the world of generative AI-based applicability, but do it in a way that could be more than just a product?” Mr. Potti said.
The platform is also designed to be extensible, he said, which will allow other firms to plug in their data and help train the model. Consulting firm
PLC has signed on as Google’s first partner, and Mr. Potti said he expects to add more over the summer.
Generative AI applications have…
