Overview

Google Threat Intelligence is Google Cloud's threat-intelligence subscription, combining Mandiant's frontline research, VirusTotal's crowdsourced malware data and Google's own signals. Gemini in Threat Intelligence answers natural-language questions and summarises reports from that corpus. Mandiant itself now operates as Google's incident-response and consulting arm.

RECATOOLS Verdict

The value here is the data, not the chatbot. Gemini in Threat Intelligence answers questions and summarises reports, but only from Google Threat Intelligence's own reports and actor, malware and campaign records, and it stays silent when those cannot answer. Combined with Mandiant's incident-response research and VirusTotal's malware corpus, that makes it one of the better-grounded AI layers in threat intelligence.

Every edition is priced by sales on an annual subscription with API-call quotas, and Mandiant consulting is a separate engagement. It suits a funded SOC, especially one on Google Security Operations; smaller teams should start with VirusTotal.

Desk research by RECATOOLS from public sources, written with AI assistance — not a hands-on test. How we review

What we found

Google no longer sells anything called Mandiant AI. Since Google bought Mandiant in September 2022, the Mandiant name has narrowed to two things: Mandiant Cybersecurity Consulting, which handles incident response, red teaming, retainers and training, and the threat analysts whose research feeds Google Threat Intelligence. Every old Mandiant threat-intelligence address now redirects to the Google Threat Intelligence page, so that is what this listing covers; it previously appeared here as Mandiant AI.

Google Threat Intelligence launched at the RSA Conference in May 2024. It combines Mandiant's frontline reporting, VirusTotal's crowdsourced malware data and signals from Google's own products into one verdict on whether an indicator matters, with a workbench for hunting, graphs, YARA rules and collections, plus monitoring of exposed credentials and brand impersonation. The AI layer is Gemini in Threat Intelligence, which succeeded a Duet AI preview from August 2023. It answers natural-language questions and writes summaries, and Google's documentation is careful about scope: summaries are generated only from Google Threat Intelligence reports and actor, malware and campaign data, and none appears when the source data cannot answer the question. That restriction is the reason to trust it more than a general chatbot.

Pricing is not published. Google lists Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise+ and an OEM edition, all marked contact sales, and says subscriptions are priced on a flat annual rate with a set number of API calls per level, with extra call packs sold separately. A dollar range shown here before had no source.

In May 2026 Google announced AI Threat Defense, pairing Wiz exposure data and the CodeMender patching agent with Gemini, with Mandiant contributing response plans. It is a programme layered on these products, not a replacement. For a funded security team already on Google Security Operations, this is serious intelligence; for anyone without an enterprise budget, VirusTotal's public service is the realistic entry point.
