So this technology gives them the Wiz core platform, and gives them the ability to start going out and addressing these adjacent use cases.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\">Meet GUS<\/h3>\n<p>While Wiz gives Google a multi-cloud security play, it also wants to make its own cloud platform more secure than those offered by rivals.<\/p>\n<p>This is where that Google Unified Security, or GUS, comes into play.<\/p>\n<p>In an announcement of the security platform&#8217;s general availability, due out today, Google touted the integrated nature of the new product and used these examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Browser telemetry and asset context from Chrome Enterprise integrated into Google Security Operations to power threat detections and remediation actions.<\/li>\n<li>Google Threat Intelligence integrated with security validation to proactively understand exposures and test security controls against the latest observed threat actor activity.<\/li>\n<li>Cloud risks and exposures from Security Command Center, including those impacting AI workloads, enriched with integrated Google Threat Intelligence to more effectively threat hunt and triage incidents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s a package that means Google has moved towards delivering a security platform that covers many functions and controls.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Microsoft uses this [approach] to great advantage,&#8221; MacDonald said. &#8220;They&#8217;ve got identity, and they&#8217;ve got data, and they&#8217;ve got a SIEM [Security Information and Event Management platform], and they&#8217;ve got endpoint,&#8221; he added, referring to Redmond&#8217;s security products, many of which it bundles with its other enterprise and cloud products to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2024\/06\/15\/microsoft_brad_smith_congress\/\" rel=\"noopener\">dissuade customers<\/a> from choosing a third-party vendor for security.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And of course, Microsoft likes to sell enterprise license agreements,&#8221; MacDonald said. &#8220;So when I look at GUS, it really is Google saying: Why don&#8217;t you buy more of our things, including Chronicle SecOps, Chrome Enterprise, Wiz&#8217;s core technology, Security Command Center.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>MacDonald says he doesn&#8217;t think Google wants to <em>be<\/em> Microsoft \u2014 it just wants to be more <em>like<\/em> Microsoft. He doesn&#8217;t see Google taking up endpoint security anytime soon, for example.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe that they do have a strategic goal to grow their enterprise security revenue outside of Google Cloud, and then wherever possible, use that same technology to make Google Cloud better,&#8221; McDonald opined. &#8220;Some of these investments, like Mandiant, like Wiz, helps both.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So can Google grow into a multi-billion-dollar security software business that&#8217;s independent of its cloud? &#8220;I believe they want that to happen,&#8221; he said.
