“I’m encouraged to see our own ‘Secure by Default’ approach gain momentum across the industry. When you put a device in the hands of a consumer or enterprise, they don’t need to run through a checklist to secure it. Instead, they get the seatbelts, the airbags, the roll bars. This shift from how technology has operated for the last 25 years is a game-changer for our collective security.”

This shared fate approach extends beyond just Google Cloud and our customers - it affects all the clouds - making industry collaboration critical."
