# Google Cloud ecosystem and blockchain data expansion > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/google-cloud-ecosystem-and-blockchain-data-expansion > Updated: 2026-08-25T21:23:25.000Z. Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Google Cloud has entered into strategic partnerships to expand its ecosystem, specifically within the cybersecurity and blockchain sectors. Through a partnership with Proofpoint, Google Cloud has integrated Proofpoint’s cybersecurity platform into the Google Unified Security Recommended Program. This collaboration aims to enhance data and AI protection across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Simultaneously, Google Cloud has partnered with SQD to power its Web3 Blockchain Analytics service. SQD 360 provides indexing and data pipelines that feed validated information from multiple blockchain networks into Google Cloud BigQuery. To ensure data integrity, the integration utilizes six cryptographic checks on every block to prevent incorrect or inconsistent records. This allows developers to access full chain histories for business intelligence and machine learning without maintaining separate infrastructure. SQD has indicated intentions to expand to more networks and develop tools for AI agents. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-25: SQD integrates validated blockchain data into Google Cloud BigQuery SQD is providing validated blockchain data from 10 networks to Google Cloud’s BigQuery, allowing developers to access full chain histories through cryptographic verification. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sqd-integrates-validated-blockchain-data-into-google-cloud-bigquery ### 2026-08-25: Google Cloud expands ecosystem through Proofpoint and SQD partnerships Google Cloud has entered new partnerships with Proofpoint for enhanced cloud security and SQD to provide validated blockchain data analytics via BigQuery. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/google-cloud-expands-ecosystem-through-proofpoint-and-sqd-partnerships --- Cite as: Google Cloud ecosystem and blockchain data expansion.
