Google Bets 'Agentic Defense' Strategy Can Outpace Attackers

Google has integrated Wiz into its security portfolio following a major acquisition and introduced an "agentic defense" framework that combines Wiz's graph-based ASM, Code and Defend products with Google Gemini AI and Mandiant expertise to automate detection, investigation, and remediation across multi-cloud environments. The announcement highlights new AI agents for SecOps, the Wiz AI-APP for protecting AI applications, AI-BOM for inventorying AI components, and integrations with third-party platforms, positioning Google competitively against other vendors pursuing agent-driven SOC automation.
