We are proud to announce that Google is positioned in the Leaders Category in the IDC MarketScape: U.S. State and Local Government Professional Security Services 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment. We believe the recognition of Google as a Leader underscores our unwavering commitment to always-on security.

Google accelerates state and local governments' resilience and transformation with our secure, AI-optimized infrastructure and Mandiant frontline expertise. The IDC MarketScape states: "Mandiant increasingly integrates Google's Gemini Al to enhance consultant productivity, enabling faster analysis of attacker scripts, automated generation of detection rules, and accelerated incident investigation workflows." This allows us to bring current adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) directly into security assessments and readiness planning for state and local governments.
