RSA Conference Google Cloud used the RSA 2023 conference to talk about how it's injected artificial intelligence into various corners of its security-related services.
The web giant's announcement of the resulting new features - marketed under the Google Cloud Security AI Workbench umbrella brand - is pretty long winded, so we thought we'd ask its Bard chat bot to summarize it all. Here's what the thing told us:
Um, okay, that kinda makes sense, but we're still not sure what exactly is new here. Maybe the diagram Google handed out about the workbench will help?
Fine, we'll read and summarize the announcement ourselves. Here's what's new and worth highlighting from Google Cloud:
Interestingly enough, Google says customers can build plugins to reach into the platform and extend its functionality in customized ways. There's also the usual promise that any customer-supplied or customer-owned data won't end up in the hands of others.
"Google Cloud Security AI Workbench powers new offerings that can now uniquely address three top security challenges: threat overload, toilsome tools, and the talent gap," gushed Sunil Potti, veep of Google Cloud Security, in a statement on Monday.
"It will also feature partner plug-in integrations to bring threat intelligence, workflow, and other critical security functionality to customers."
What Google's announced today is being seen as a response to the OpenAI-powered Security Copilot Microsoft launched last month. What's funny is that years ago the Google Brain team invented the transformer approach now used by all of these modern LLMs, and so the Big G today finds itself in the weird situation of seemingly playing catch up on technology it was or is at the forefront of.
"We need to first acknowledge that AI will soon usher in a new era for security expertise that will profoundly impact how practitioners "do" security," Potti added. "Most people who are responsible for security - developers, system administrators, SRE, even junior analysts - are not security specialists by training."
Accenture is the first guinea pig for the Google Cloud Security AI Workbench, we're told. For the rest of us, Code Insight is available now in preview form, and the rest will roll out gradually to testers and in preview this year, if all goes to plan. ®
