AI At The Front Lines Of Cybersecurity Defense
Symantec, Tuesday, September 9th, 2025
Built to spare analysts from hours-even days-of work, new agents and features built with Google's Gemini models are smart, intuitive and ready for what's next
- Symantec now leverages Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash series of models for agentic AI to automate threat analysis, activate internal tools and map threats across Broadcom's entire security portfolio.
- New AI-driven incident summaries dramatically reduce alert fatigue by providing clear narratives, MITRE mappings and remediation steps that analysts can take in under a minute.
- Google's Gemini models enhance script classification in Cloud Sandbox, refine false positive detection in Carbon Black Cloud, and enable natural language queries for faster, more intuitive threat response.
When it comes to cybersecurity in 2025, AI has entered the chat. Early iterations of AI-enhanced products, while certainly helpful, still ran up against limits that prevented them from living up to the much-touted promise of artificial intelligence. To some in cybersecurity, AI amounted to little more than marketing fodder.
