In response to the 2025 Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index, 86% of organizations skilled an AI-related safety incident up to now 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. In the present day, 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 Prospects

Whether or not you’re operating fashions on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, constructing agentic workflows, or managing delicate knowledge as a part of a RAG pipeline, AI Protection now delivers enterprise-grade safety inside your Google Cloud atmosphere.

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, overlaying threats like immediate injection, instrument misuse, and knowledge exfiltration — with no code modifications required

AI Cloud Visibility — Automated discovery of AI belongings together with fashions, brokers, knowledge sources, and tooling, offering centralized governance

AI Provide Chain Danger Administration — Steady scanning of mannequin information, repositories, and MCP servers to determine vulnerabilities and forestall using insecure parts

For organizations with strict knowledge necessities, a VPC deployment possibility retains all knowledge inside your Google Cloud atmosphere — 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 vital. AI Protection integrates immediately 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 accessible as an ADK integration, permitting groups to allow runtime safety with only a few traces 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 supplies a single, constant safety framework — the identical visibility, the identical controls, the identical governance — no matter the place your AI runs.
