Google has unveiled Google Unified Security (GUS), an integrated platform combining threat intel, security ops, and Chrome Enterprise with AI agents. The move follows its $32B Wiz acquisition and marks a direct challenge to Microsoft’s dominance in enterprise security. GUS enables multi-cloud visibility, proactive threat hunting, and AI-assisted triage, signaling Google’s deeper push into security beyond its cloud ecosystem.
UK-based NexGen Cloud has secured $45 million in Series A funding to accelerate the growth of its Hyperstack platform and build out sovereign AI infrastructure across Europe. With 10,000+ users and a $1B “Supercloud” underway in Oslo, the company aims to deepen its foothold in GPU cloud services and roll out AI tools like Fine-Tuning-as-a-Service to boost model efficiency.
Imunify has launched a WordPress plugin that surfaces Imunify360’s real-time protection within the WordPress admin panel—eliminating the need to log into hosting dashboards. This move gives site owners direct insight into malware scans, threat removal, and overall security status. For hosting providers, it eases support loads while proving value to clients through transparent, automated security visibility—without requiring any manual setup from users.
Microsoft is racing—and likely failing—to meet its April deadline to deliver a fully multi-tenant hybrid cloud for European service providers. Sources say key features remain incomplete, risking a revived antitrust clash with CISPE. Despite a $22M settlement, price parity and independence from Azure remain unresolved. With Google and AWS echoing similar concerns, Microsoft’s cloud licensing practices continue drawing intense scrutiny from regulators and rivals across Europe.
Deutsche Telekom is extending its alliance with Google Cloud through 2030, positioning the tech giant as its go-to partner for AI and cloud transformation. Key systems, including SAP and the MyMagenta app, are moving onto Google’s infrastructure. At the center: the One Data Ecosystem, a unified AI-powered platform. With Vertex AI and Gemini models in play, Telekom signals a strategic pivot toward becoming a fully AI-first enterprise.
Meta is reportedly behind a $837M data center project in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, signaling a deeper push into AI infrastructure. While the deal remains under wraps, local approvals are in motion. The move reflects a broader trend among hyperscalers eyeing the Midwest for its power, land, and scalability—despite growing investor scrutiny over data center expansion and the long-term sustainability of these billion-dollar AI infrastructure bets.
