The threat landscape has shifted, and the defense model has to keep up. Patrick Moorhead sat down with Francis DeSouza to discuss what an AI-native security strategy actually looks like in practice. Key Takeaways Include: 🔷 Agentic attacks, multimodal phishing, and prompt injection are becoming the new baseline. 🔷 AI SOC agents are compressing 30-minute investigations into ~1 minute, with threat hunting operating at machine speed. 🔷 AI is already embedded internally at scale — roughly 75% of code at Google is AI-generated. 🔷 Wiz extends Google Cloud’s platform into cloud-native protection and shift-left security, backed by Mandiant intelligence. Defenders that are not AI-native are already outpaced. #GoogleCloud #GoogleCloudNext2026 #Wiz #Mandiant #AISOC #AgenticSecurity #Cybersecurity #MultiCloudSecurity #CloudNativeSecurity #CNAPP #ShiftLeftSecurity #AIThreatDetection #SecurityOperations #CloudSecurity #EnterpriseSecurity #ThreatDetection #aiinsecurity Disclaimer: Six Five Media is a media and analyst firm.
