Security News > 2023 > April > Google's here to boost your cloud security and the magic ingredient? AI, of course

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.
Google Cloud Security AI Workbench is a new platform that uses generative AI to help organizations secure their cloud environments.
"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.
"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.
