Google has recently unveiled an experimental AI model, Sec-Gemini v1, tailored to meet cybersecurity demands. Built upon the Gemini framework, Sec-Gemini v1 integrates Google Threat Intelligence (GTI), the Open Source Vulnerabilities (OSV) database, and the extensive threat intelligence resources of Mandiant—a company Google acquired for $5.4 billion in 2022. The model is currently available free of charge to select organizations, institutions, experts, and NGOs for research purposes, with public applications also open.
In the realm of cybersecurity, attackers often need to exploit only a single vulnerability to compromise a system, while defenders must guard against an ever-expanding array of threats. With this in mind, Google aims to empower system administrators by leveraging AI to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of cybersecurity defense strategies.
Sec-Gemini v1 is designed to augment security workflows with advanced AI reasoning capabilities. It incorporates a broad corpus of modern cybersecurity knowledge and harnesses Gemini’s high-level functionalities to analyze the root causes of cyber incidents, assess threats, and evaluate the potential impact of security vulnerabilities.
Google emphasizes that Sec-Gemini v1 has demonstrated superior performance in the CTI-MCQ (Cyber Threat Intelligence – Multiple Choice Questions) benchmark, outperforming models from OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and Mistral AI in comprehending cybersecurity threats. It has also achieved leading results in the CTI-RCM (Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence – Root Cause Mapping) benchmark, which evaluates a model’s ability to analyze the underlying causes of security incidents.
