Google Enlists 650 Governments And Companies In AI Cyber Shield

The Fairwind Program pairs CodeMender and Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber to write deployment-ready patches in minutes, funded by $100 million.

  • CodeMender and Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber replace weeks of manual patching with minutes of automated fixes.
  • Google.org pledges $100 million, including $36 million for 35 nonprofit cyber clinics.
  • Over 1,250 hospitals, school districts and municipal utilities already receive coverage under the program.
