on Election Day at Google ’s office in Washington, DC, Phil Venables , Chief Information Security Officer of Google Cloud, runs through his recent to-do list: Earlier that day, he met with product teams getting ready to launch new security features meant to protect enterprise clients. Then he’d worked on a “significant upgrade” to Google ’s broader technical infrastructure, beyond his normal purview of the cloud.
For Venables, working on cybersecurity at Google is unlike working at any other place in the industry because its products are so far-reaching. For example, Google Workspace, which provides enterprise versions of Google’s popular productivity apps like Gmail and Drive, has more than 3 billion users. “The scale that we operate at is probably bigger than pretty much any other company in the world,” he said.
To build out his team, Venables added key veterans of the security industry, including Taylor Lehmann, who led security engineering teams for the Americas at Amazon Web Services, and MK Palmore, a former FBI agent and field security officer at Palo Alto Networks. Google is trying to do just that. Last summer, Venables led the development of Google’s Secure AI Framework, or SAIF, a set of guidelines and best practices for security professionals to safeguard their AI initiatives. It’s based on six core principles, including making sure organizations have automated defense tools to keep pace with new and existing security threats, and putting policies in place that make it faster for companies to get user feedback on newly deployed AI tools.
