Enterprise AI adoption isn’t slowing down — and neither are the dangers that include it. In response to the 2025 Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index86% of organizations skilled an AI-related safety incident previously 12 months, but fewer than half have the sources to conduct complete AI safety assessments.
Cisco AI Protection was constructed to assist shut that hole. At the moment, we’re extending that safety to Google Cloud — becoming a member of AWS and Microsoft Azure because the third main cloud platform that Cisco AI Protection helps.
What This Means for Google Cloud Clients
Whether or not you’re operating fashions on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, constructing agentic workflows, or managing delicate information as a part of a RAG pipeline, AI Protection now delivers enterprise-grade safety inside your Google Cloud setting.
Key capabilities embrace:
AI Mannequin & Software Validation — Automated red-teaming throughout 200+ safety and security subcategories mapped to the Cisco AI Safety and Security Framework together with OWASP, NIST, and MITRE requirements
AI Runtime Safety — Bi-directional guardrails enforced inline throughout agentic workloads, protecting threats like immediate injection, device misuse, and information exfiltration — with no code modifications required
AI Cloud Visibility — Computerized discovery of AI belongings together with fashions, brokers, information sources, and tooling, offering centralized governance
AI Provide Chain Threat Administration — Steady scanning of mannequin recordsdata, repositories, and MCP servers to determine vulnerabilities and forestall using insecure parts
For organizations with strict information necessities, a VPC deployment possibility retains all information inside your Google Cloud setting — no exterior routing of prompts, responses, or mannequin interactions.
Constructed for Agentic AI
As enterprises transfer from AI experimentation to production-scale agent deployments, runtime safety turns into crucial. AI Protection integrates straight with Google Cloud’s Agent Gateway through Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Service Extensions, working as an inline coverage enforcement engine on agent requests and responses — with out touching agent code or mannequin configuration.
For builders, getting began is simple. AI Protection is obtainable as an ADK integration, permitting groups to allow runtime safety with only a few strains of code when constructing on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Runtime .
Constant Safety Throughout Your Multi-Cloud AI Footprint
For enterprises constructing AI throughout AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, AI Protection offers a single, constant safety framework — the identical visibility, the identical controls, the identical governance — no matter the place your AI runs. AI Protection maps to OWASP Prime 10 for LLMs, MITRE ATLAS, and NIST Adversarial ML Taxonomy, supporting compliance readiness together with the EU AI Act.
