What is Google Threat Intelligence?
Google Threat Intelligence is a cyber threat intelligence platform that combines three sources: Mandiant’s frontline intelligence from incident response engagements, VirusTotal’s malware and community data, and Google’s own security telemetry. This combination provides a broad view of the current threat landscape, complemented by an aggregated, AI-powered score that simplifies alert prioritization.
In 2026, Google also acquired Wiz and is integrating its cloud security posture capabilities into its broader security strategy. Google Threat Intelligence remains the central threat intelligence component within Google Unified Security, alongside Google Security Operations for SIEM/SOAR and Wiz for cloud security posture.
