Features
AI Protection
Secure the entire AI stack and lifecycle from your agents, data, models, apps, platform, and infrastructure. Discover all AI assets and prioritize risks, secure workloads and agent interactions with Model Armor (protecting against prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, and harmful content), and detect and respond to AI-specific threats across the entire AI stack. Get visibility, control, and security for your AI innovation, from development to runtime.
Built-in threat detection
Detect active threats in near real-time using specialized detectors that are built into the Google Cloud infrastructure. Quickly discover malicious and suspicious activity in Google Cloud services, including Compute Engine, GKE, BigQuery, CloudRun, and more. Protect your organization with the industry's only Cryptomining Protection Program.
Virtual red teaming
Find high-risk gaps in cloud defenses by simulating a sophisticated and determined attacker. Virtual red teaming runs millions of attack permutations against a digital twin model of an organization’s cloud environment and can discover attack paths, toxic combinations, and chokepoints that are unique to each customer’s cloud environment.
Compliance Manager
Combine policy definition, control configuration, enforcement, monitoring, and audit into a unified workflow. Get an end-to-end view of the state compliance with easy monitoring and reporting. Use Audit Manager to automatically generate verifiable evidence to prove compliance to auditors.
Cloud posture management
Automatically scan your cloud environment to identify cloud misconfigurations and software vulnerabilities that could lead to compromise—without having to install or manage agents. High-risk findings are presented on the Security Command Center risk dashboard so you know which issues to prioritize.
Data security posture management
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), provides governance for security and compliance of sensitive data. Using 150+ AI-driven data classifiers from Sensitive Data Protection, DSPM enables you to discover, secure, and monitor sensitive data. DSPM offers data map visualization for all data resources, advanced data controls for Google Cloud Storage, BigQuery, and Vertex AI. Protect sensitive data from security and compliance risks with DSPM.
Shift left security
Find security issues before they happen. Developers get access to thousands of software packages tested and validated by Google using Assured Open Source Software. DevOps and DevSecOps teams get posture controls to define and monitor security guardrails in the infrastructure, and can use infrastructure as code (IaC) scanning to implement consistent security policies from code to cloud by validating security controls during the build process.
Cloud Infrastructure and Entitlement Management (CIEM)
Reduce identity-related risks by granting users the minimum level of access and permissions needed to perform their job. Understand which users have access to which cloud resources, get ML-generated recommendations to reduce unused and unnecessary permissions, and use out-of-the box playbooks to accelerate responses to identity-driven vulnerabilities. Compatible with Google Cloud IAM, Entra ID (Azure AD), AWS IAM, and Okta.

Security posture
Make Google Cloud safe for critical applications and data
Use agentless technology to proactively find vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in your Google Cloud environment before attackers can exploit them to access sensitive cloud resources. Then use virtual red team technology to discover possible attack paths and attack exposure scoring to prioritize the security issues that pose the most risk.
