GoKawiilBleepingComputer and Material Security to host webinar on real Google Workspace breaches
BleepingComputer is partnering with Material Security for a live webinar on September 23 examining documented Google Workspace breaches. Speakers Rajan Kapoor of Material Security and Rick Fitzgerald of Fireside Consulting will dissect two incidents where attackers used social engineering and rogue OAuth apps to gain access, then walk through the response decisions that followed.
Many Workspace intrusions succeed not through technical exploits but by tricking users into granting permissions, a blind spot many security checklists miss. Understanding how organizations respond in the first hours after discovery can help smaller security teams prioritize controls that actually reduce damage rather than chasing exhaustive compliance lists.
- Attackers increasingly use social engineering and malicious OAuth apps to breach Google Workspace instead of stealing credentials.
- The webinar will detail post-breach decisions that either contained or worsened real incidents.
- Speakers will highlight which Workspace security controls are most valuable versus overrated for lean security teams.
