Google has introduced Google Threat Intelligence, which combines an in-depth view of threats with Gemini’s AI capabilities to "supercharge" the process.
Gemini, formerly Bard, is Google’s multimodal large language AI model deployed to find security threats and create summaries of its findings.
The new security solution was announced at the annual RSA conference for IT security professionals in San Francisco between May 6th – 9th, 2024.
Dave Gruber, Principal Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, provided his review of Google Threat Intelligence: “While there is no shortage of threat intelligence available, the challenge for most is to contextualise and operationalise intelligence relevant to their specific organisation.
“Unarguably, Google provides two of the most essential pillars of threat intelligence in the industry today with VirusTotal and Mandiant.
Integrating both into a single offering, enhanced with AI and Google threat insights, offers security teams a new means to operationalise actionable threat intelligence to better protect their organisations.”
How Gemini Helps
Google Threat Intelligence is utilising Gemini1.5 Pro's AI power to offer a more efficient and effective solution for IT security teams in their fight against malware.
According to Google, Gemini 1.5 Pro provides the world’s longest context window and supports up to one million tokens.
Google’s AI assistant can simplify the complex and time-consuming task of reverse engineering malware by automatically applying one of the most advanced threat analysis techniques currently available.
To showcase the potency of the Gemini-infused Threat Intelligence offering, it was used to process the entire decompiled code of a malware file for WannaCry in a single scan. In total, it took just 34 seconds to generate its analysis and locate the ‘kill switch’, a mechanism to immediately shut down or isolate a system, application, or device that may be infected by malware.
