Elastic, the Search AI Company recognized worldwide, has announced a major technical partnership with Google Cloud. This partnership marks a deep integration of Elastic’s agentic security operations platform with Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped, forming a strong security layer for organizations that operate in highly restricted digital environments.
As the level of sophistication of cyber threats increases with the use of AI, organizations that deal with regulated workloads in need of infrastructure that offers high-performance innovation without compromising data isolation. This partnership will bring a secure architecture suitable for fully disconnected environments. Combining Google’s sovereign cloud capabilities with Elastic’s advanced security analytics and automation, the integration guarantees that even the most vulnerable data remains secure from modern threats.
“Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped is a fully managed solution that empowers organizations to innovate securely while addressing their most stringent sovereignty and regulatory requirements,” said Rohan Grover, senior director, Product at Google Distributed Cloud. “For organizations requiring an additional layer of security, Elastic’s agentic security operations platform brings enhanced data security and data sovereignty capabilities to customers, helping them to combat modern, AI-driven cyber threats.”

A Unified Approach to Sovereign SecurityElastic Security is a full set of features that brings together Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and native automation in one platform. The platform incorporates agentic AI in every step of the prevention and response lifecycle, and it really helps SOC analysts not only to speed up their workflows but also to reduce the challenges of tool sprawl and scattered third-party integrations.
Some of the advantages of the Elastic Security integration in the air-gapped Google Distributed Cloud include:
- Data Sovereignty: This platform ensures that organizations are able to comply with strict regulations through the application of granular security controls in the applications and data layers, which are necessary for the visibility and log retention processes.
- Business Efficiency: Through the consolidation of different security services into one cohesive platform, visibility issues are greatly minimized, while at the same time reducing the inefficiencies experienced in the process.
- A.I. Productivity: Leveraging the power of Google‘s large language models, the Elastic Security agentic capabilities such as AI Assistant and Attack Discovery improve the efficiency of the security team.
“Security teams in highly regulated, air-gapped environments face growing challenges detecting and responding to AI-driven threats while maintaining strict data sovereignty and compliance requirements,” said Mike Nichols, general manager, Security at Elastic. “This integration brings a unified, agentic security operations platform designed to meet those demands.”
Expert Knowledge in Critical Environments This program capitalizes on Elastic’s proven experience in protecting critical infrastructure for government and federal agencies. Elastic entered into a partnership with CISA in late 2025 to deliver SIEM as a service to the Federal Civilian Executive Branch.
