Google Cloud today announced a range of new security tools to help both private businesses and the public sector face the modern-day threat landscape.
Security has become a forefront enterprise and government concern as cyberattacks interrupt the supply chain, vulnerabilities are found in widespread services, and ransomware attacks prove relentless against global targets.
Despite the increased risk and ever-growing attack surface, "most security products seem to focus on solving products created by other security products, rather than the root causes of the issues," said Sunil Potti, vice president and general manager of Google Cloud Security, in a blog post. Confidence and security cannot be obtained by simply buying yet another new security tool, he said.
