Big Sleep Awakens: AI Stops Cyber Threat Before It Starts

Google’s DeepMind and Project Zero teams have achieved a cybersecurity breakthrough with Big Sleep- an autonomous AI agent that preemptively identifies and blocks digital threats before they unfold. At the core of this initiative is a shift from reactive defense to intelligent prevention, a leap forward that signals the future of cyber resilience. From spotting real-world SQLite vulnerabilities to defending open-source ecosystems, Big Sleep is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape.

Key Highlights:

• Big Sleep detected and neutralized a real-world exploit (CVE-2025-6965) before attackers could use it a milestone in predictive security.

• Beyond Google’s ecosystem, Big Sleep is improving security for critical open-source projects, enhancing collective internet safety.

• Google will demo Timesketch, its AI-augmented forensic tool powered by Sec-Gemini, and unveil FACADE, its insider threat detection system live on stage.

• Google joins forces with Airbus at DEF CON 33 and launches the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI) to drive responsible, scalable cyber defense.

• Google will share real-world security data to accelerate agentic AI development through the CoSAI initiative.

Why It Matters:
AI is advancing from threat analysis to outsmarting them. Google is leading this shift with autonomous agents like Big Sleep, secure-by-design practices, and public-private collaboration, moving from a patch-and-react approach to predict-and-prevent. As AI capabilities grow, tools like Big Sleep and FACADE will be essential for large-scale digital security.
