Exposing the Undercurrent: Disrupting the GRIDTIDE Global Cyber Espionage Campaign

Cloud Computing /

Introduction Last week, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), Mandiant, and partners took action to disrupt a global espionage campaign targeting telecommunications and government organizations in dozens of nations across four continents. The threat actor, UNC2814, is a suspected People’s Republic of China (PRC)-nexus cyber espionage group that GTIG has tracked since 2017. This prolific, elusive […]

Automate Custom CI/CD Pipelines for Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS

Cloud Computing /

Managing infrastructure deployments across multiple AWS accounts and maintaining governance controls present a significant challenge for organizations. Manual deployment processes create bottlenecks that slow delivery, introduce human error, and make it difficult to maintain consistent security and compliance standards across environments. Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS (LZA) provides foundational governance and baseline infrastructure across your

Firefly: Illuminating the path to nanosecond-level clock sync in the data center

Cloud Computing /

From the high-frequency trading floors of Wall Street to orchestrating cloud data centers, the ability to synchronize events with nanosecond accuracy is critical. Yet, achieving this level of temporal precision across thousands of interconnected devices in a modern data center is fraught with challenges like clock drift, network jitter, and path asymmetries. And doing so

Building a conversational agent in BigQuery using the Conversational Analytics API

Cloud Computing /

Bringing data into BigQuery centralizes your information, but the real challenge is making that data accessible. Often, technical barriers separate the people with questions — from execs to analysts — from the answers they need. With the Conversational Analytics API, powered by Gemini, you no longer need intricate systems to get insights. The API is

Simplify your AI workflow with autonomous embedding generation in BigQuery

Cloud Computing /

In the world of generative AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), embeddings are the “secret sauce” that allow machines and AI agents to understand the semantic meaning of data. As BigQuery extends its autonomous data-to-AI platform, embeddings unblock valuable multimodal use cases. However, for many data engineers, managing embeddings is a headache. Traditionally, users have to

Using Google Cloud AI to measure the physics of U.S. freestyle snowboarding and skiing

Cloud Computing /

Nearly every snowboard trick carries a number. A 1080 means three full rotations. A 1440 means four. The convention is simple: add up every rotation around every axis and count in 180° increments. For decades it’s served as the sport’s universal shorthand for difficulty. Judges, coaches, and athletes all speak this language fluently. It’s also,

Sovereignty and European competitiveness: A partnership-led approach to AI growth

Cloud Computing /

In our conversations with business and policy leaders across Europe, we have listened closely to their concerns about sovereignty and European competitiveness. It is clear that they often find themselves caught in a paradox that Europe must choose between autonomy and growth. At Google Cloud, we believe that this is a false choice, and a
