Steph Hay, Google’s Head of UX for Cloud Security, elucidated the primary objective of this transformative initiative: to alleviate the burden on IT teams, reduce threats, and eliminate barriers to entry in the cybersecurity realm.
The aim, as Hay succinctly put it, is to “supercharge security with generative AI” by mitigating threats and preventing the downstream impacts that often plague cybersecurity practitioners. This includes reducing the operational overhead faced by security teams, who grapple with managing an ever-expanding attack surface, and addressing the persistent cybersecurity talent shortage.
