Polymer brings runtime security for AI to Google Cloud Marketplace

Cloud Security

Summary

  • A malicious actor gained access to a third-party, cloud-based CRM system used by Allianz Life via social engineering.
  • Personally identifiable information (PII) belonging to the majority of Allianz Life’s 1.4 million customers was exposed.
  • The company has not confirmed the identity of the threat actor, but online sources suggest the ShinyHunters extortion group may be responsible.
  • The incident underscores the need for runtime data security, which can detect and stop abnormal behavior and data access in real time.
  • It also highlights a gap in training practices—traditional phishing modules are insufficient. Employees require ongoing, contextual security reinforcement.

Data security leaders are navigating a new era. Digital transformation, SaaS adoption, and the rise of AI have dramatically expanded the enterprise attack surface. Sensitive data is moving faster than ever, often outside traditional guardrails. Security and compliance teams are under pressure to protect company data without slowing down collaboration and innovation. 

That’s why we’re excited to announce that Polymer is now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, making it easier for enterprises to leverage the data protection solution.

Polymer extends Google Cloud’s native DLP

Polymer’s dynamic policy engine is architected to scale across SaaS and AI ecosystems, making it a foundational layer for data security. Polymer detects and prevents sensitive data exposure in Gmail, Google Drive, and Gemini models at runtime. That means security policies are enforced the moment data is typed, shared or accessed, rather than after an incident occurs. 

Polymer extends Google Cloud’s native data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. With Polymer, security and compliance leaders can:

  • Prevent sensitive data loss (Google Drive and Gmail)
  • Govern enterprise GenAI usage (Gemini)
  • Enforce DLP policies across regulated data (PHI, PII, PCI)
  • Remediate insider threats in real time (redact sensitive data, label emails and files, remove file access)
  • Automate compliance with HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI, ISO 27001, and more

What makes Polymer different from legacy DLP tools is its ability to respond to policy violations in real time while keeping collaboration seamless. This is achieved through Polymer’s dynamic policy engine in which enterprises can customize their security policies and workflows. 

Polymer capabilities include: 

  • Identity-aware security that adapts policies based on user role, location, and context.
  • Automated redaction to remove, replace, or label sensitive data without user friction.
  • SecureRAG™ which governs retrieval and prompt-level data exposure inAI.
  • Real-time policy enforcement across SaaS and AI tools for proactive control.

How enterprises use Polymer to protect data in Google Workspace

Polymer is securing SaaS and AI adoption across highly-regulated Fortune 500 firms, financial institutions, and education platforms—verticals where real-time controls are critical.

  • Fortune 500 Financial Firm: Deployed Polymer to secure GenAI usage across 10,000+ employees and achieved 90% policy adherence in the first 30 days.
  • Top-5 U.S. Bank: Detected and remediated 1,200+ high-risk SaaS behaviors per week using Polymer’s policy engine.

By extending Google Cloud’s security capabilities with identity-aware runtime controls, Polymer complements the investments major security platforms are making in data security posture management (DSPM) and SaaS governance.
