Google calls for full-stack cybersecurity at Munich Security Conference

Google has announced a call for a full-stack, collaborative approach to digital and national security at the 62nd Munich Security Conference and launched a startup support effort.

• Main announcement: Google (Kent Walker) said the company is advocating a full-stack, collaborative approach to security and that the Google for Startups Gemini Startup Forum: Cybersecurity began accepting applications last week to connect cybersecurity founders with Google AI and security teams. The post highlights support for defenders (example: Ukrainian startup LetsData) using AI to detect InfoOps.
• Background and details: Google cited findings from Google Threat Intelligence (GTI) about AI-enabled adversary tactics and emphasized risks from cryptographically relevant quantum computing; it referenced partnerships and deployments using Google Distributed Cloud (Air-Gapped) with organizations including NATO JATEC, the U.S., Germany, the UK and Australia, and a report released last week recommending breaking down silos and modernizing procurement timelines.
