High assurance in Google connected products and AI
Dave Kleidermacher
VP Engineering, Security and Privacy for Android and Made-by-Google Products and Services
Securing a vast digital ecosystem like Google’s demands more than a one-size-fits-all approach. This talk explores the critical need for a multi-layered assurance framework—a model where a secure baseline underpins all products while we push for the highest verifiable security on our most critical components, enabling an entire system to deliver high-assurance functionality. This unlocks the future of computing, enabling use cases like national-scale Digital IDs, ultra-personalized AI agents, and highly assured content provenance. We will demonstrate how this model builds user trust at scale and provides a blueprint for the industry to deliver the next generation of verifiably secure and intelligent experiences.
