Mandiant is a recognized leader in dynamic cyber defense, threat intelligence and incident response services. By scaling decades of frontline experience, Mandiant helps organizations to be confident in their readiness to defend against and respond to cyber threats. Mandiant is now part of Google Cloud.

Learn from legal and crisis communications experts about the importance of incident response planning and how AI adoption has changed risk, incident response, and the impact of a breach. 

In this interactive discussion, Dan Wire, Head of Crisis Communications at Mandiant and Beth George, Partner at Freshfields, examine how the rise of generative AI is shifting the cybersecurity threat and response landscape. 

Watch now to learn how to:

*Recognize the evolving AI threat landscape: The importance of educating teams on the increasing sophistication of threats including AI-powered impersonation using deepfake voice and video, and the use of generative AI to create deceptive content like flawless phishing emails and convincing resumes.

*Expand the scope of incident response to effectively manage emerging AI-related risks. This includes creating a plan for when customer-facing LLM products behave unexpectedly.

*Establish effective governance and escalation by embedding robust decision-making models, escalation criteria, and a "whole of company" response to ensure business needs are balanced against legal constraints during a crisis.

*Manage the complexities of ransomware events, including the necessity of pre-vetted external negotiators and the critical importance of a legal partner to assess sanction risks and manage disclosures.

*Build foundational crisis muscle with pre-incident tabletop exercises, which are vital for exposing vulnerabilities in internal team cohesion (e.g., between Legal, Comms, and Sales) and ensuring the organization can execute a strategy of "measured transparency" to maintain consumer trust and mitigate long-term business risk.

Incident response planning in the age of AI

Measuring SOC impact is difficult. This talk argues that focusing on analytic maturity and consistency—rather than just speed metrics like mean-time-to-response (MTTR)—is the best way to reduce incident costs. We explore how Google SecOps features like Ontology and Alert Grouping build this consistency by structuring threat data. This approach shifts analysts from repetitive triage to complex puzzle-solving, ensuring diverse analysts can reach the same informed conclusion. Learn how this standardized, high-quality output is the foundation to mature your SOC.

Supercharge Your SOC: Driving Consistent Analysis with Google SecOps & Mandiant Dan Nutting

In the time it takes to read a news headline about an emerging cyber threat, your organization is already at risk. The critical gap between awareness and action leaves security teams scrambling to translate threat reports into meaningful defense.

Join us to unveil the new Emerging Threats Center, a real-time, AI-powered news feed within Google Security Operations that fundamentally changes how teams consume and operationalize threat intelligence. We will demonstrate how security teams can now move at the speed of news, instantly answering the questions that matter most: ""Are we vulnerable? Have we been impacted? And are we protected going forward?"
