Clearwater Strengthens Cyber Defense in Healthcare and the Defense Industrial Base with Enhanced Threat Intelligence from Google Cloud

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearwater, the largest pure-play provider of cybersecurity and compliance solutions for the healthcare industry, today announced a collaboration with Google Cloud to integrate Google Threat Intelligence (including Mandiant, VirusTotal, and Google) with Clearwater's 24x7 Managed Security Services and Security Operations Center (SOC). This solution delivers real-time, actionable insights to proactively defend against advanced cyber threats, further helping to protect Clearwater's growing list of healthcare clients, as well as the defense industrial base clients served by its Redspin division.

In an era where ransomware, supply chain attacks, and nation-state threats are on the rise, organizations can no longer afford to operate without high-fidelity, real-time threat intelligence. Today's threat actors move quickly, often exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities and novel attack paths that bypass traditional defenses. Effective cybersecurity demands not only visibility into threats, but also the ability to tap into the intelligence around these threats to understand and derive the best course of action in real time when they are detected.

By embedding the latest and most robust threat intelligence commercially available into its Managed Security Services and SOC, Clearwater gives clients the insight and agility they need to outpace attackers and fulfill their compliance and patient safety obligations. This includes predictive intelligence that enables Clearwater to take precautions to help block threats targeting healthcare and defense industrial base organizations.

"With the growing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks on healthcare and critical sectors, organizations need a threat intelligence capability that is not only powerful but deeply integrated into their operations," said Brian McManamon, General Manager of Clearwater Managed Security Services and President of Clearwater's Redspin division. "Our Enhanced Threat Intelligence Service combines Google's unmatched threat telemetry with Clearwater's proven MSSP team to enable faster detection, informed response, and improved cyber resilience."
