'One of the most important bodies of work that we're engaged in is the training and the enablement of the cybersecurity workforce. There are expected to be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs by 2025. Our new cybersecurity certificate will enable hundreds of thousands of people to get trained to help energy companies, to help hospitals, to help schools defend themselves'.

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'.
