Key points include the first documented AI-built zero-day exploit, attack handoff times dropping from 8 hours to 22 seconds, and Google's AI Threat Defense platform combining Gemini, Wiz, CodeMender, and Mandiant. A Morgan Stanley case study shows 99.9% reduction in mean time to detect threats. The post also covers Zero Trust for AI to counter shadow AI risks, autonomous security agents (Red/Blue/Green) under human oversight, and a roundup of recent Google Cloud security updates including threat intelligence on Turla's STOCKSTAY backdoor and disruption of residential proxy networks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
