In an increasingly complex and hostile cyber landscape, enterprises demand integrated, intelligent, and trusted cloud security solutions. Responding to this imperative, Google recently unveiled the Unified Security Recommended Program, a strategic initiative designed to elevate cloud security integration, accelerate adoption of vetted market-leading solutions, and empower customers with seamless security operations.
What Is the Google Unified Security Recommended Program?
Launched in November 2025, the program identifies and endorses top independent software vendors (ISVs) whose security products deeply integrate with Google’s Unified Security ecosystem. This ecosystem is an AI-driven, converged security platform that unifies SecOps, threat intelligence, and incident response at scale to protect enterprises across cloud, endpoint, identity, and network vectors.
The program’s goal is to streamline partner product evaluation and enable customers to confidently choose solutions that deliver unified telemetry, consistent threat intelligence, and improved detection and response—all from a single pane of glass.
Why This Program Matters to Enterprises
Security teams face challenges juggling multiple products, disparate data sources, and siloed operations. The Unified Security Recommended Program makes it easier for organizations to implement best-in-class security products that are pre-verified to work seamlessly with Google Cloud’s security stack. This integration reduces complexity, accelerates deployment, and enhances visibility and control.
Furthermore, all solutions included are available through the Google Cloud Marketplace, simplifying procurement and billing.
Who Are the Inaugural Partners?
Google named some industry leaders as inaugural partners, showcasing the program’s commitment to excellence and innovation:
- Wiz: A cloud security platform that complements Google’s security controls with advanced posture management and risk insights.
- Fortinet: Providing comprehensive network security that integrates robustly with Google’s security operations.
- CrowdStrike: The exclusive endpoint security provider in the program, delivering intelligence-driven endpoint protection and response capabilities.
Each partner’s product meets rigorous evaluation criteria, including technical integration with Google Security Command Center (SCC), Google Threat Intelligence (GTI), and interoperability with Google SecOps and Mandiant services.
How Does Integration Work?
Products in the program integrate by pushing and receiving security findings through Google Security Command Center, offering a consolidated view of enterprise security posture. They also leverage Google Threat Intelligence feeds to enrich detections and enable rapid, contextualized responses across cloud workloads, endpoints, and networks.
This deep integration enables customers to shift from reactive, fragmented controls to proactive, AI-enhanced security workflows facilitated by Gemini-powered analytics and Mandiant expert support.
The Bigger Picture: Google Unified Security
Google Unified Security is transforming enterprise cybersecurity with AI-infused and intelligence-driven defenses that span identity, workloads, and endpoints. The Unified Security Recommended Program extends this vision by fostering an ecosystem of trusted partners whose solutions collectively enhance threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities for customers worldwide.
The Google Unified Security Recommended Program marks a significant step forward in cloud security partnership strategies, offering enterprises a curated, integrated, and proven set of tools to safeguard their digital transformation journeys. For security leaders seeking to bolster their defenses while simplifying operations, this program provides a new benchmark for trusted and unified cloud security innovation.
