To further empower our customers in their data journey, we are excited to announce the launch of identity columns in BigQuery. This new feature allows users to define columns that automatically generate sequential 64-bit integer values, simplifying the way you manage unique identifiers within your tables. Data engineer
Historically, enterprise predictive analytics tasks such as predicting churn, purchase intent, or fraud scoring have meant building custom models using libraries like XGBoost, Random Forest, or Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). While effective, the traditional train-tune-deploy-retrain cycle can be complex and time-consumin
Introduction Beginning in 2024 Mandiant investigated a string of compromises affecting Brazilian financial services, retail, and eCommerce organizations. Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) tracks this activity as BREEZE COMET (formerly UNC5669), a financially motivated threat actor specializing in manipulating pay
Many of the questions that matter in enterprise data aren't just about individual rows — they're about how things connect: how two accounts are linked, what path a payment took, what context grounds an AI agent's answer. That’s what a graph is built to solve. Historically, unlocking these insights meant extracting data
Data pipelines are the backbone of the modern enterprise, yet a barrier to entry exists for orchestrating them, making this critical capability unavailable to many data professionals. Following our announcements at Google Cloud NEXT ’26 , where we introduced the Orchestration Pipelines framework, we are fundamentally c
Need a low-cost, high-performance way to run long-lived, stateful workloads such as AI agents? Today, we introduced Cloud Run instances, which let you do just that. Consider AI agents such as OpenClaw or Hermes , which are intended for individual developers or personal use. Because these agents often work continuously
When Pythian rolled out Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise across our 500-person company in 27 countries, the goal was simple: use our own company as a proving ground to discover how enterprise AI actually delivers ROI. What we found changed our strategy entirely. Since the rollout of Gemini Enterprise and our previous e
Welcome to the second Cloud CISO Perspectives for August 2026. Today, Chris Sistrunk and Stephanie Kiel detail the critical issues facing the water sector, and actionable steps that OT operators can take to secure their infrastructure. As with all Cloud CISO Perspectives, the contents of this newsletter are posted to t
Establishing network-level perimeters with VPC Service Controls (VPC-SC) is a critical step that can help you protect your cloud environment against data exfiltration, compromised accounts, and insider threats. Today, Google Cloud is excited to share new policy intelligence capabilities in VPC-SC that can help drive ev
AI models have clearly proven their ability to discover and exploit vulnerabilities without much, if any, human assistance. To help defenders gain the advantage with AI, we built the Mantis harness to automate the discovery, triage, reproduction, and patching of software vulnerabilities. Available to all as an open-sou
As AI takes on more complex work, business leaders face a new challenge: enabling rapid innovation using agents while protecting their margins and budgets. To get a real return on AI, financial operations (FinOps) and cost management must evolve alongside technology, giving you clear visibility, proactive cost controls
Have you been hearing a lot about "AI agents" lately but aren't sure how to actually start building them? You don't need a background in machine learning or years of software experience to get started. The best way to learn is by doing, which is why we built Agent Valley . Agent Valley is a free, 5-week live learning s
