Meet the Google for Startups Accelerator: AI for Cybersecurity cohort

As businesses and societies digitize, improving online access and services for people everywhere, cybersecurity threats have risen in lock-step. Cybersecurity is one of the most pressing challenges in Latin America and around the world — and Google is deeply committed to tackling new threats with proactive and innovative solutions. We’re committed to not only keeping our own platforms safe, but to supporting others in protecting the wider digital ecosystem.
