AI security

At Security Summit 2025, Google Cloud outlined its AI-powered vision for proactive security. Key announcements include AI Protection enhancements within Security Command Center for AI agent discovery and threat protection (like prompt injection). The vision extends to an “agentic SOC” with AI agents assisting in threat management and alert investigation. Google Security Operations receives AI-driven capabilities (Gemini AI), unified dashboards, and upgrades to the Trusted Cloud, focusing on compliance, smarter access control, and expanded data/network security for AI. The goal: secure innovation through AI-embedded security.

The HarmonyOS Security and Privacy Evolution forum at HDC 2025 highlighted advancements in StarShield Security 2.0, focusing on API governance, AI security, passwordless authentication, financial security, and sensitive data protection. Discussions with partners showcased practical applications of these features, emphasizing HarmonyOS’s commitment to a secure and trustworthy ecosystem.

Global AI adoption accelerates amid critical security vulnerabilities, with 88% of components lacking protocols and $1B+ crypto-mining hijacking via exposed frameworks. While history shows emerging tech often emerges through ethical risks, Alibaba Cloud’s CloudShield for AI tackles flaws via infrastructure defense (real-time vulnerability detection), model safeguards (99% attack prevention), and application shielding. Integrated Tongyi LLM slashes response times to 8.2 minutes, exemplifying AI’s dual role as both threat and defense. The future hinges on embedding security into AI’s core, mirroring infrastructure evolution beyond traditional “wild west” phases to counter innovation’s inherent risks dynamically.
