Foresite Cybersecurity has been named the 2026 Google Cloud Security Partner of the Year for North America. The award was presented at Google Cloud Next ’26 in Las Vegas. Foresite provides managed security operations using Google Security Operations (SecOps), supporting threat detection and response, investigation workflows and audit readiness.
Human oversight for AI-driven security
Foresite says its services combine Google’s agentic investigation capabilities with analyst oversight. Before response actions are taken, a named analyst reviews and authorizes each autonomous investigation, providing customers with visibility into decision-making and risk management.
“The Google Cloud Partner Awards honor the strategic innovation and measurable value our partners bring to customers,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem and Channels, Google Cloud. “We are proud to name Foresite a 2026 Google Cloud Partner Award winner, celebrating their role in driving customer success over the last year.”
Managed Google SecOps and compliance
Foresite is a Google Cloud Premier Partner with Security and MSSP specializations. Its Catalyst platform extends Google SecOps with operational governance, automation and continuous compliance capabilities. The company said it expanded its SecOps delivery practice over the past year and retained 96% of its customers.
Foresite also reports a 90% reduction in mean investigation time and automated threat response
Foresite also reports a 90% reduction in mean investigation time and automated threat response in under 15 seconds across its managed services portfolio. The company says these capabilities are intended to let security teams focus on risk decisions rather than alert triage.
An independent technical validation of Catalyst by Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, was commissioned by Google in August 2025. The report examined how the platform extends Google Security Operations for threat detection, investigation and response at organizations with varying levels of security maturity.
"Our Technical Validation of Foresite's Catalyst platform examined how practitioner-led governance can extend Google Security Operations to deliver measurable detection and response outcomes. Google Cloud's Partner of the Year recognition independently confirms what our analysis identified — that platform-native expertise, rather than tool access, is what differentiates managed security outcomes for mid-market and enterprise organizations."— Tony Palmer, Practice Director, Omdia (formerly Enterprise Strategy Group).
Agentic SOC capabilities at Google Cloud Next
“We're entering an era where AI can investigate threats at machine speed,” said Jeremy Hehl, Chief Evangelist at Foresite. “Enterprise organizations need confidence that those decisions are governed and aligned to real business risk. This recognition from Google Cloud reinforces our focus in helping customers operationalise AI security at scale.”
At Google Cloud Next ’26, Foresite is showcasing its Agentic SOC capabilities, including how teams can govern autonomous response using Google SecOps, Google Threat Intelligence and AI security controls. The company says its managed services are designed for organizations seeking enterprise-grade security operations without building and staffing a full internal security operations center.
