Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. <\/p>\n

PwC has launched an AI-driven, unified detection-and-response managed security service,\u00a0enabled by Google Security Operations.
\nThe recent announcement follows PwC\u2019s three-year,\u00a0$400 million collaboration investment\u00a0with Google Cloud to modernize cybersecurity operations, unveiled in January. The offering targets smaller and mid-sized enterprises that wouldn’t typically turn to a big consulting firm for cybersecurity.
\n\u201cThis is not an old-school cyber-managed service offering that requires a lot of people, time and infrastructure to set up,\u201d PwC\u2019s Partner, Global and US Managed Services Leader, Tim Canonico told Channel Dive from the Google Cloud Next conference in Las Vegas. \u201cWe’re leveraging Google\u2019s SecOps platform and building agents to do a lot of the work that would typically require large-scale teams to operate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canonico said the service features the full stack of cybersecurity services on one platform and uses agentic AI workflows bolstered by Google Cloud\u2019s advanced security operations platform. This includes threat-identifying agents that can quickly sniff out security threats, triage agents that can prioritize urgent issues from background alerts and mitigation agents that can search and identify solutions.
\nAll this automation has human checkpoints, and Canonico says it helps create an efficient, low-cost cybersecurity service with 24\/7 monitoring, detection and response.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve packaged PwC\u2019s dedicated expertise, taken all of our knowledge libraries on mitigation and detection, plus Google\u2019s security operations technology and we\u2019ve stitched it all together,\u201d Canonico said. \u201cFor our clients, that means PwC is going to handle your security operations as an outsourced service, and we can do it better, faster, cheaper and more effectively than ever before.\u201d
\nIn partnership with Google Cloud, PwC aims to target enterprise customers ranging from mid-size to smaller companies \u2014 organizations that typically wouldn\u2019t consider PwC for cybersecurity services.
\nThe launch of this cybersecurity is just one step in the broader alliance between Google Cloud and PwC. On April 22, PwC separately announced its new Gemini Enterprise Center of Excellence (CoE), a specialized team that can be embedded into clients’ AI initiatives using Google Cloud\u2019s AI technologies. Where the managed security service is a packaged offering customers can buy, the CoE is the deeper infrastructure behind PwC’s expanding Google Cloud practice, helping organizations move from AI pilots to production deployments at scale.<\/p>\n

Both announcements point in the same direction: PwC is building out its bench strength and tooling to compete as both a managed services provider and consulting firm. For Canonico, the security service is the clear expression of that ambition.
\n\u201cThis is what we think the future of managed service really is,\u201d Canonico said. \u201cOur entire portfolio is about bringing deep domain knowledge and sector expertise to professionals around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
