Key point

Google Cloud's CISO Chris Betz shared the strategies and lessons behind using AI to revolutionize security defense capabilities.

Details

In the past, it took security teams months to find thousands of vulnerabilities, but now, with AI models, this can be done in just hours or even minutes. AI provides attackers with advanced attack methods such as zero-day vulnerability discovery, but it also becomes a powerful weapon for defenders who understand business context.

To respond to this shift, Google Cloud is innovating its vulnerability management framework based on the AI Native, Agentic, and Open strategies. To this end, the following innovative projects have been carried out.

  • Project Naptime: A project that improves security researchers' work efficiency by automating vulnerability discovery
  • Big Sleep: An AI agent that autonomously finds zero-day vulnerabilities
  • CodeMender: An AI agent that automatically patches code

Based on this technology, Google is introducing AI Threat Defense, building a next-generation security framework that uses AI to counter AI-based threats.
