Google Unveils Advanced AI Security Tools at Major Cybersecurity Conferences
Google introduces innovative AI cybersecurity tools and forms a coalition at major conferences.
Key Points
- • Launch of 'Big Sleep', an AI agent identifying security vulnerabilities.
- • Introduction of Timesketch and FACADE for faster incident response.
- • Formation of the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI) to promote safe AI practices.
- • Collaboration with DARPA for AI Cyber Challenge at DEF CON 33.
On July 15, 2025, Google made significant strides in AI-driven cybersecurity at Black Hat USA and DEF CON 33, introducing innovative tools and initiatives aimed at bolstering security measures across industries. Among the highlights was 'Big Sleep', an advanced AI agent developed by Google DeepMind and Google Project Zero. This agent has already identified critical security flaws, such as CVE-2025-6965, demonstrating its capability to predict and preempt vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
In addition to 'Big Sleep', Google unveiled Timesketch, an open-source digital forensics platform enhancing its capabilities with new agentic features powered by Sec-Gemini. This development is expected to streamline the incident response process by automating initial forensic investigations. Furthermore, the existing tool FACADE will be showcased for its effectiveness in identifying insider threats by analyzing billions of security events in real time, without relying on historical attack data.
In a move aimed at fostering collaboration and safety in AI implementations, Google announced the formation of the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI). This coalition will focus on promoting best practices for AI across various sectors, leveraging data from Google's Secure AI Framework to support its initiatives. These advancements will culminate in a practical Capture the Flag event at DEF CON 33, utilizing AI tools developed in collaboration with DARPA for an AI Cyber Challenge. Google asserts that these initiatives are essential for enhancing cybersecurity and encouraging cooperation between the public and private sectors.
