Google announced a comprehensive suite of new AI-powered security features to coincide with Cybersecurity Awareness Month. The rollout is designed to combat the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, including AI-driven scams and advanced phishing attacks. The new tools are built with a focus on privacy and security by default, addressing user concerns in an AI-dominated landscape. This strategic move positions Google to compete with specialized cybersecurity firms like CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks in the rapidly growing AI-powered security market, which is projected to reach $366 billion by 2028. The announcement is part of a series of five security-related releases planned throughout October 2025.
