Google announced a couple of new cybersecurity initiatives at its Cloud Next event today. First, the cloud provider launched the Google Cybersecurity Action Team, which provides advisory, threat intelligence, and incident response services. It also announced a new Work Safer effort that combines Google Workspace, BeyondCorp Enterprise, and other Google products with endpoint and network security from CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Cybereason.

“This Cybersecurity Action Team marshals the experts from across Google to form what we think will be the world’s premier security advisory team based on a whole amount of experience that we’ve had securing Google and Google Cloud over the years,” Google Cloud CISO Phil Venables told reporters. “This group has a singular mission: supporting the security and digital transformation of governments, of critical infrastructure, enterprises, and small businesses.”

The security advisory services will span customers’ initial cloud adoption roadmap and deployments by increasing their cyber resilience and preparedness for new and emerging threats, Venables added. In addition to advisory services, it will also include Google security products including Autonomic Security Operations, which is a cloud-native security operations centers stack.

And while it will initially focus on Google Cloud, “ultimately this evolves over time to bring even more of Google to more organizations through and beyond cloud,” Venables said.

In August, following a White House meeting with other tech giants and U.S. President Joe Biden, Google pledged to spend $10 billion on cybersecurity over the next five years, and this is one of its efforts under that commitment.

“It’s great to see a large company like Google Cloud orient itself to support the cybersecurity of all organizations large and small through its Cybersecurity Action Team, and as part of the JCDC and other initiatives, we look forward to partnering with them and other tech companies in this vital effort,” Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly said in a statement.

The Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC) is a new CISA-led, public-private initiative that Easterly announced over the summer, and Google Cloud is one of its founding members.

Google also announced its new Work Safer effort — another piece of its $10 billion commitment. This initiative combines Google products and services with those from a partner ecosystem to help secure customers’ entire IT environment.

On the Google side of things, it includes zero-trust and threat-detection, enabling technologies from Google Workspace and BeyondCorp Enterprise along with several device-protection products for phones and laptops. Customers can also use Google’s Titan Security Keys for account protection, reCAPTCHA Enterprise for website fraud prevention, Chronicle for security analytics, and cloud migration services.

In addition to its own products, Google partnered with CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Cybereason to provide endpoint protection and extended detection and response (XDR), which automates and orchestrates threat hunting and response across endpoints, network, and cloud.

“Pairing the CrowdStrike Falcon platform that leverages cloud-scale AI for real-time protection and visibility across organizations with Google Workspace’s architecture, provides a natural fit for any organization implementing zero trust,” CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said in a statement.

This builds on the two companies’ partnership announced in May to share telemetry and data between Google Cloud’s security products and CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform. At the time, Google VP of Cloud Security described it as “beyond XDR.”

Palo Alto Networks also has an existing partnership with Google Cloud. “By providing Workspace users with secure access, enhanced visibility, automated detection and response, and data loss prevention, we help enterprises and governments simply and securely move their workforces into the cloud-enabled future,” Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Cybereason will develop new XDR products with Google in the coming weeks that will pair its threat hunting technology with Google Cloud’s Chronicle security analytics platform.

“Google Cloud’s ability to hunt through petabytes of data at the speed of search, combined with Cybereason’s revolutionary correlation capabilities and behavior-based detections delivers unparalleled speed and accuracy in the prevention, detection, and response of advanced attacks,” Cybereason CEO Lior Div said in a statement.
