Enhancing Cloud Security with AI-Powered Solutions
In recent years, the frequency of cloud intrusions has surged dramatically, with a staggering 75% increase observed in the past year alone. Adversaries are evolving rapidly, exhibiting unprecedented speed in breaching customer environments, with some achieving unauthorized access in as little as two minutes.
Customers require more than traditional security measures to shield themselves from these modern cloud threats. They need a comprehensive, user-friendly, and managed security solution that simplifies complexity and acts as a force multiplier for both security and DevOps teams.
A pivotal advancement in this realm lies in integrating AI-powered services from Google Cloud and the robust capabilities of Google Cloud’s Security Operations platform. This amalgamation equips organizations with proactive threat-hunting capabilities, ensuring a proactive defense posture against evolving threats.
In addition, coupling Google Cloud’s offerings with CrowdStrike’s industry-leading protection fortifies customers’ defenses across diverse cloud environments and vendor platforms. This strategic alliance delivers the desired outcomes, enabling organizations to thwart breaches effectively and safeguard their assets in today’s dynamic threat landscape.
