Upcoming webinar to analyze real Google Workspace breaches for practical security priorities
BleepingComputer will host a live webinar on September 23, 2026, featuring security experts Rajan Kapoor and Rick Fitzgerald to examine documented Google Workspace breaches. The session will focus on which security controls are most effective, which are overrated, and how lean security teams should allocate limited resources. It will also cover response decisions in the critical hours after a breach and lessons from social engineering and malicious OAuth app attacks.
The webinar draws on documented incidents rather than theoretical scenarios, with speakers examining how social engineering and malicious OAuth applications were used to compromise Workspace environments. The session will walk through the immediate aftermath of these breaches, including which response choices contained damage and which may have extended it.
For organizations with lean security teams, the central question is prioritization—identifying controls that deliver meaningful protection without requiring exhaustive maintenance. The speakers will rank practical improvements by effort and impact, offering a framework for teams to evaluate their own defenses against real-world attack patterns.
This webinar reflects a broader shift in cybersecurity toward evidence-based prioritization, as organizations face mounting pressure to secure cloud productivity suites with limited staff. If it helps attendees redirect resources toward controls that genuinely mitigate common attack paths, it could reduce the frequency and severity of Workspace compromises. Smaller companies, which often lack dedicated security personnel, may benefit most from practical, breach-derived guidance that translates complex threats into actionable priorities.
