BleepingComputer to Host Webinar on Google Workspace Breach Autopsies with Material Security

Webinar Overview

BleepingComputer is organizing a live webinar titled "Breach autopsy: How fast-growing companies are breached through Google Workspace" scheduled for September 23, 2026. The event will feature security experts who will delve into the specifics of Google Workspace breaches.

Expert Speakers

The webinar will include Rajan Kapoor, Vice President of Security at Material Security, and Rick Fitzgerald, President of Fireside Consulting LLC. They will examine publicly documented Google Workspace breaches and discuss lessons learned from these incidents.

Common Breach Vectors

Many Google Workspace breaches do not originate from sophisticated exploits. Instead, attackers often gain access through social engineering tactics or forgotten third-party integrations that retain extensive permissions within the Google Workspace environment. These overlooked entry points can expose user data and connected applications.

Practical Security Insights

The discussion will focus on how breaches unfold, identifying valuable security controls and those that may be overrated. The speakers will offer practical controls and response measures that lean security teams can realistically implement, rather than providing a lengthy checklist. This includes prioritizing actions during the critical initial hours of an incident.

Key Takeaways for Attendees

Attendees will gain an understanding of potential exposure points in Google Workspace environments, the importance of early incident response decisions, and which security improvements yield the greatest impact. The webinar aims to provide actionable insights for building a robust Google Workspace security program.
