No, I fully agree. I'm an incredible optimistic, optimist. So if you think about, in my mind, I'm actually really optimistic about the long-term. I think in probably five, over like five years plus, we're gonna be, probably AI gives us as a defender one of the unique opportunities we will have to actually change that kind of asymmetry situation between the offense and defense. We've always been exposed to, I think the next few years before we get there, as defenders, it's gonna be pretty tough. It does exactly what you said, the volume that it's gonna generate, the speed at which the attacker's gonna be able to use it, how many attackers are gonna be able to leverage this. So I think that the recommendations and best practice, you were saying like the sooner organizations can implement those controls, use AI to really fight AI, as you said, I think that's gonna bring a lot of, and kind of balance that equation as quickly as we can. And I think innovations like the Google AI threat defense solutions and where you're building, I think really helping organizations get there faster. We're doing the same on our end. We announced a few months ago, the on-apps agentic gateway to really help organizations bring SAP into their agentic security and compliance workflows. Because at the end of the day, it's all about context. You can, like LLMs are really good at kind of high level understanding of different components and domains, but there are certain domains like in our case, enterprise applications, where you need to have really deep domain context, kind of proprietary data and intelligence to be able to try action and really do impact assessment and actually drive that autonomous defense. So we're continuously looking to help customers achieve. And I think we're running up against time here. Just wanna close maybe in closing here. I think it's great to see kind of the power of Mandia and part of Google power and what it has been doing. So I think we bring synergistic value to the industry when you think about even responding to an incident by something that affects an application like SAP. Mandia is of course leading an organization in understanding the network and understanding where the system is, where you get all those assets and how the systems were compromised, how to respond and recover from that. We bring in the application layer of intelligence. One example, if the attacker went into the SAP application, if that's where we can provide the idea of helping to remove the blind spot so that the full attack chain, the full kind of business impact could be understood and really mitigated and clean up and mitigated moving forward. So we're really pleased with the collaborations we've done also, not only in the field, but all the three intelligence sharing we're doing between our teams, the open source tools we release to help everyone, the community and defenders. So really excited about the next steps of our partnership as well.

TL;DR

  • AI is expected to favor defenders over a five-plus-year horizon, but the near-term outlook is challenging as attackers gain speed and scale advantages from AI-powered tools.
  • Onapsis recently launched an agentic gateway to bring SAP environments into agentic security and compliance workflows, emphasizing the need for deep domain context.
  • The Onapsis and Mandiant partnership combines network-level incident response with SAP application-layer intelligence to close blind spots in enterprise attack chains.

Summary

This short clip features Mariano Nunez of Onapsis and Jurgen Kutscher of Mandiant Google Cloud discussing the evolving role of AI in cybersecurity defense. Both speakers express cautious optimism: while the near-term threat landscape will intensify as attackers exploit AI for greater speed, volume, and scale, they believe AI ultimately offers defenders a historic opportunity to rebalance the offense-defense asymmetry over a five-plus-year horizon. Nunez highlights Onapsis's recently announced agentic gateway, designed to integrate SAP environments into agentic security and compliance workflows — arguing that deep domain context and proprietary intelligence are essential for effective autonomous defense of enterprise applications. The two also underscore the complementary value of their partnership: Mandiant brings network-level incident response expertise, while Onapsis contributes application-layer intelligence to eliminate blind spots in SAP attack chains. Together, they point to joint field collaboration, threat intelligence sharing, and open-source tooling as concrete outputs of this alliance, positioning the Onapsis-Mandiant relationship as a meaningful force multiplier for enterprise defenders navigating an AI-accelerated threat environment.
