Beyond Zero: Google Publishes Successor to BeyondCorp

Google has introduced Beyond Zero, a security framework designed to extend Zero Trust principles to autonomous AI agents. By shifting authorization from the application level to specific resources and individual actions, the model aims to manage the risks posed by AI systems that perform tasks independently. This approach integrates static controls with dynamic authorization to govern how agents interact with sensitive data. The transition reflects an attempt to secure automated workflows as AI tools take on more direct access to corporate infrastructure.
