Google has announced 'Google AI Threat Defense,' an AI-powered autonomous cybersecurity service that automatically fixes vulnerabilities and monitors threats.



Google has announced ' Google AI Threat Defense, ' an AI-powered cybersecurity service. Google AI Threat Defense is a service that can autonomously detect and respond to threats, and is being promoted as a countermeasure against high-speed attacks using AI.

The coding capabilities of cutting-edge AI have reached an extremely high level, with Anthropic releasing 'Claude Mythos Preview' and OpenAI releasing 'GPT-5.4-Cyber' to security researchers on a limited basis. These companies are providing high-performance AI ahead of time with the goal of 'discovering vulnerabilities and taking countermeasures before attackers,' but there are also concerns that 'the speed at which AI discovers vulnerabilities is too fast for software developers to keep up with countermeasures.'

The speed at which vulnerabilities in 'Claude Mythos Preview' and 'GPT-5.4-Cyber' are discovered may make it difficult for OSS maintainers to keep up, potentially increasing risks - GIGAZINE



Google explains that Google AI Threat Defense 'unlike model providers that simply hand over unprioritized vulnerability lists to security personnel, it accelerates remediation and ensures a defensive advantage by providing 'prioritized patches'.'

Google AI Threat Defense improves users' defense capabilities by running a cycle of 'Prepare,' 'Scan and prioritize,' 'Remediate,' and 'Monitor.'



During the preparation phase, Google's security platform ' Wiz ' is used to scan the user's entire service, simulate attacks, and create a real-time exposure map. Next, multiple AI models with different performance levels are used to scan for vulnerabilities, verify the threat level of the discovered vulnerabilities, prioritize them, and then create patches. Even after the patches are applied, the AI continues to monitor autonomously.

In addition to Wiz, the defense flow utilizes the AI agent ' Antigravity ' and the vulnerability-fixing AI agent ' CodeMender .' Furthermore, it leverages the expertise of Google's security company ' Mandiant .'

Google stated, 'Human-based vulnerability management is no longer an effective strategy for corporate risk management. In the age of high-speed AI attacks, autonomous and continuous defense is essential,' highlighting the usefulness of autonomous security systems like Google AI Threat Defense.
