'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.'

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