Thales Expands Collaboration with Google Cloud to Help Secure Agentic AI Workflows
Integration enables new protections for communications between AI agents, models, enterprise data, and tools to help control what agents can access, share, and do
Thales AI Security Fabric mitigates risks, brings enhanced visibility and policy enforcement to AI-driven workflows on Google Cloud
MEUDON, France, September 28, 2026--Thales today announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud to help enterprises address emerging security and governance challenges associated with agentic AI, bringing integrated protection, visibility, and policy enforcement to AI-driven workflows on Google Cloud.
The integration of Thales AI Security Fabric with Google Cloud Gemini Enterprise helps organizations apply security, governance, and visibility across interactions among users, agents, models, and tools in real time.
"Enterprises are moving from AI assistants to AI agents that can autonomously take action, make decisions, and interact with critical business systems. This requires a fundamentally different approach to security," Eva Rudin, Senior Vice President, Cybersecurity Products, at Thales, said. "By expanding our collaboration with Google Cloud, we are helping organizations build the necessary trust with security and governance as the foundation required for the next generation of enterprise AI."
As enterprises move beyond AI experimentation and begin deploying autonomous agents at scale, traditional security approaches are struggling to keep pace. Unlike conventional applications that operate within predefined workflows, AI agents can reason, plan, decide and act with other agents dynamically, creating new attack surfaces and governance challenges.
According to industry analysts, securing agentic AI has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges facing enterprise AI adoption, as organizations seek to balance innovation with security, compliance, and trust.
Security Built for the Agentic AI Era
The expanded collaboration between Thales and Google Cloud is designed to help organizations address emerging risks across the agentic AI lifecycle, including prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, unsafe outputs, unauthorized actions, and increasingly complex agent-to-agent interactions.
As enterprises connect AI agents to sensitive business systems and critical data, they create a broader and more dynamic attack surface than traditional security architectures were designed to manage. For example, AI agents tasked with settling insurance claims could exceed their mandate by using personal information from outside approved sources to influence payouts, creating privacy and compliance risks. Thales AI Security Fabric applies controls around agents to keep them within authorized boundaries, limit data access, and block inappropriate actions in real time.
