Alphabet/Google has launched "Chronicle", a company that combines cybersecurity with machine learning. It was started under Google's X "moonshot"-producing group:

Alphabet—the parent company of Google, Nest, Waymo, and a million other companies—is launching a new company under the Alphabet umbrella. It's called "Chronicle," and the new company wants to apply the usual Google tenets of machine learning and cloud computing to cybersecurity.

The company is already up and running with an absolutely awesome URL, "chronicle.security," along with two introductory blog posts (1, 2), a logo, a Twitter account, and a vague sales pitch for some kind of security analysis product. The Chronicle team started in February 2016 under Alphabet's "Moonshot factory" X group and, before now, had been in stealth mode.

Stephen Gillett, the new CEO of Chronicle, explained the company best by writing:

We want to 10x the speed and impact of security teams' work by making it much easier, faster and more cost-effective for them to capture and analyze security signals that have previously been too difficult and expensive to find. We are building our intelligence and analytics platform to solve this problem.

10x? We verbed that. Google that fact.

    Woo Hoo! Because no one else ever heard of SIEM [wikipedia.org], so now Google can save us all from those nasty crackers.

    Don't forget that before Google we all lived in caves and and scrounged whatever we could. Now we have rail and cars and factory farms. All thanks to Google!

    Please.
