At Google Cloud Next '26, Google announced a broad agentic security push in response to Anthropic's Mythos model. Key announcements include three new AI agents in Google Security Operations (threat hunting, detection engineering, and third-party context), expanded Wiz integration covering AWS, Azure, Databricks, and AI agent studios, and an AI-bill of materials (AI-BOM) to combat shadow AI. Google also introduced Agent Identity and Agent Gateway for governing autonomous AI agent interactions, deeper Model Armor integrations to counter prompt injection, and reworked fraud detection to distinguish humans, bots, and AI agents.
