## The brief

Google Cloud’s security advisers argue that cybersecurity startups should build around CISOs’ operational problems before pitching AI features. Their guidance emphasizes customer discovery, evidence for product claims, resistance to prompt injection and data poisoning, and awareness of sector-specific obligations such as data residency. The article offers practitioner advice from Google’s startup program, rather than announcing a new security product or reporting an incident.
