In today's world, where the data of some company or user is being hacked every day, Google has done a great feat in the matter of cybersecurity. Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that his AI agent Big Sleep stopped a dangerous cyber attack before it started. This is the first time that an AI has actively identified a cyber attack and thwarted it.

What did Sundar Pichai say?

Sundar Pichai wrote on the social media platform X that his security team's new achievement, AI agent Big Sleep, has been successful in identifying and thwarting a major cyber exploit. Pichai said that this is the first such opportunity for AI and will not be the last.

What is Big Sleep

Big Sleep is an advanced AI agent created by Google DeepMind and Google Project Zero. Its job is to identify the vulnerabilities hidden in the software. To help fix them by taking action on them. Now, for the first time, another feature has been added to it that can stop any threat before it happens.

How did AI save us from a big threat?

In November 2024, Big Sleep discovered threats (real-world vulnerability) in a software for the first time. Now, in July 2025, this AI tracked down a dangerous bug (CVE-2025-6965) in a database software called SQLite before hackers could take advantage of it.

With the help of Google's Threat Intelligence Team, Big Sleep stopped the attack in time. This is being considered a game-changer moment in the history of cybersecurity.

The Internet will get a new shield.

Google has not only increased the safety of its system, but with the help of Big Sleep, open-source software is also being secured. This AI is going to provide safety to cloud clients and other companies as well. This will make the cybersecurity of the entire Internet stronger than ever.

So far, AI was used in the investigation after the attack. But through Big Sleep, AI is now working towards preventing the attack in advance.
