Google Cloud on Wednesday announced that a unit within the US Defense Department (DoD) will use its Anthos platform to build a multi-cloud management platform for detecting and responding to cyber threats across the globe. The contract is specifically with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), an organization within the DOD that focuses on scaling commercial technology across the entire Pentagon.
The new platform, centrally managed from the Google Cloud console, will enable the DIU to run web services and applications across Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure.
