PwC US also declared an enormous move of the existing alliance it has with Google Cloud by unveiling a new three-year alliance with a $400 million investment to advance AI inference-based security operations.
The move is an extension of over a decade of partnership between both firms and leverages Google’s leading cloud security and artificial intelligence capabilities in combination with its expertise in security transformation, risk, and services to assist in enhancing threat detection capabilities of organizations as well as respond to security incidents promptly.
At the heart of such a collaboration lies the effort to address the growing cyber threat landscape, fragmented security infrastructures, and increased pressures on security professionals. Through the power of AI-driven analytics and intelligence, the clients can finally rise above the traditional security paradigm to meet the needs of a proactive security state.

PwC’s approach differentiates itself through a fusion of robust implementation capacity with deep regulatory, risk, and leadership-level guidance that supports clients’ long-term resilience and compliance needs.
Strategic Priorities of the Collaboration
- AI-Powered Security Operations: The expanded alliance brings together Google Cloud’s advanced security platforms and threat intelligence with PwC’s transformation and managed service capabilities to accelerate detection and response.
- Unified Visibility and Control: Clients benefit from a unified view across complex environments, enabling faster investigation workflows and operational efficiency.
- Agentic Security Capabilities: PwC is enhancing its semi-autonomous Security Operations Center (SOC) offerings through AI-enabled workflows, reducing noise and automating lower-value tasks so security professionals can focus on strategic priorities.
- Integrated Threat Intelligence: Embedding Google Cloud Threat Intelligence directly into security operations helps organizations anticipate, detect, and respond to advanced threats more effectively.
Leadership Perspectives
On the expanded collaboration, Morgan Adamski, Cyber, Data & Technology Risk Deputy Leader at PwC, emphasized the urgency of modernized operations:
“Security professionals are under pressure to move faster and operate smarter in the face of constant change,” said Adamski. “PwC is working with Google Cloud to help organizations operationalize AI and intelligence in ways that meaningfully improve how security teams work, day in and day out.”
Denise Walter, Vice President of Global Security Sales at Google Cloud, highlighted PwC’s role in enabling real-world impact: “PwC supports Google Cloud by bringing the deep transformation expertise that organizations need to translate agentic AI into real operational impact,” said Walter. “With PwC, we are helping clients modernize security operations on a global scale, driving consistent resilience, efficacy, and effectiveness across their complex environments.”
Adamski added on the role of automation and intelligence: “When intelligence and automation are built directly into security operations, organizations are better positioned to prioritize what matters most, respond with confidence and build resilience.”
