Partnering for a safer future
“We are excited to partner with Google as part of the employer
consortium for their Cybersecurity Certificate, which we believe will
supplement our own efforts to attract skilled professionals for
entry-level cyber roles in a highly competitive talent market.”
Fred Gibbins
Senior Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer,
American Express
“The safety of our students has to be our primary goal. The security
dashboard in Google Workspace for Education Plus gives us a whole new
level of insight that we didn’t have before — whether it’s a spike in
authentications or a potential outside threat. I look at it several
times a day — and now, I can access flagged data in minutes rather
than waiting a whole day.”
Chris Budzynski
Chief Technology Officer, Huntley Community School District 158
“The fact that Google Chromebooks have never had a ransomware attack
is really reassuring for us. Ransomware is a scary thing, and running
around everywhere, but ChromeOS is built from the ground up to be
cloud native and secure. We’ve put it to the test across 20,000
devices and agree: We have not had a single ransomware attack on a
Chromebook.”
Chris Clark
Director of Technology Support Services, Fairfield-Suisun United
School District
“CashEx uses Google Cloud’s Vision API as part of our user
identification process flows to ensure transactions are done safely
and less expensively. We are able to quickly process uploaded selfies
and give instant feedback to our users on whether or not they meet the
criteria for identity verification. The API calls are fast enough that
we can do the processing synchronously.”
Kingsley Ezeani
Co-Founder and CEO, CashEx
“Google Cloud’s secure cloud management solution is one prototype
helping to simplify engagement with nontraditional technology vendors
by allowing our users to collaborate in real time. The solutions
provide equivalent security and control to the DoD’s Cloud Access
Point while delivering real-time performance, which is
critical.”
John Chen
Interim CIO, Defense Innovation Unit
An inside look at the state of cybersecurity today
“One of the most important bodies of work that we’re engaged in is
the training and 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.”
Royal Hansen
VP, Privacy, Safety, & Security Engineering
“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.”
Heather Adkins
VP, Security Engineering
“Security is baked into everything we do, rather than bolted on. But
we’re in this together. We believe it’s also the responsibility of
technology companies and major organizations to push for more secure
defaults and user-level customer controls. This shared-fate approach
extends beyond just Google Cloud and our customers — it affects all
the clouds — making industry collaboration critical.”
Phil Venables
CISO, Google Cloud
