Alphabets Security Moonshot: To Boldly Go... Where Others Are Going Too

Google parent company Alphabet launches Chronicle, a business unit looking to create a digital immune system against threats. Other companies are taking a similar approach.

The industry uses the moonshot label to describe breakthrough technologies. In the case of Alphabets X business unit, which is all about moonshots, that means using balloons to bring the Internet to everyone in the world, building self-driving cars, delivery drones, and harnessing geothermal energy.
With Chronicle, the latest business unit launched independently from X on Wednesday, the goal is more modest (though still pretty ambitious): Building a digital immune system against enterprise security threats.

Just as the bodys immune system finds potential threats by looking for anomalies that shouldnt be present, Chronicle wants to build a system that will guard against Internet threats by looking for digital anomalies. Its an approach also being tried by other companies, ranging from Cisco to at least one startup.
