Organizations today face the growing challenge of pulling actionable insights from the noise surrounding generative AI, as media hype often overshadows the technology's practical implications. Because of this, it’s critical to have a clear understanding of what generative AI actually is and what it isn't.

In this webinar, we will demystify the benefits, challenges, and risks of AI based on our frontline observations. From there, we will help you adopt a practical framework to assess the security of AI in your environment and outline actionable strategies to improve your specific AI security approach.

You will also walk away with knowledge of a three-pronged approach that organizations can take to secure their existing AI solutions by:

*Assessing your security posture
*Performing threat modeling for your AI solutions
*Executing threat hunting across your AI pipeline

An Actionable Approach to Assess and Improve the Security of Your AI Solutions

Elevate your threat hunting expertise by joining a live session with a leading Google Threat Intelligence researcher and a seasoned threat hunting expert. In this hands-on session, we'll guide you through the entire threat hunting process, from crafting your pipeline to executing various hunt types. We'll delve into the strategic and tactical use of Google Threat Intelligence to uncover critical insights, identify pivot points, and pinpoint additional indicators of compromise (IOCs) for your hunts.

Threat Hunting with Google Threat Intelligence

Join our webinar to learn how AI in Google Threat Intelligence helps your team uncover hidden threats, streamline investigations, and make faster, more informed decisions. See how AI is transforming threat intelligence in real-world scenarios.

Gemini in Threat Intelligence analyzes vast datasets and acts as a force multiplier, immediately surfacing threats most relevant to your unique risk profile, reducing the noise of generic alerts. It continuously learns from your actions, tailoring its output to become increasingly relevant to your specific needs over time.

Use Cases in Threat Intelligence: Leveraging Gemini

SMS toll fraud, also known as SMS pumping, is a sophisticated cyberattack targeting businesses worldwide. Malicious actors exploit vulnerabilities in your SMS systems, generating fraudulent charges by sending high volumes of messages to premium-rate numbers. This results in significant financial losses, often reaching thousands or even millions of dollars, leaving your business liable for the fraudulent activity.

Register for this webinar to gain a comprehensive understanding of SMS toll fraud and learn actionable strategies to protect your organization.

Key topics:
> Gain insights into the complex tactics and techniques used by fraudsters to exploit your SMS infrastructure.
> Understand the direct and indirect costs of SMS toll fraud, including financial losses, operational disruptions, and potential reputational damage.
> Discover industry-leading strategies and best practices to strengthen your overall SMS security posture and proactively mitigate future threats.

We’ll give you a tour of where you’ll find AI capabilities in the product, how best to use them, and which use cases work best.

Work Smarter, Not Harder with Gemini in Security Operations

AI is rapidly changing the way we work and security professionals are not only thinking about how to apply generative AI to help them in their jobs, but also how to safeguard AI systems in their organizations as these tools become more prevalent. This session will outline how Google Cloud can support both of these efforts. Join us as we unpack our Product Vision for AI-Powered Security, as well as share how we are equipping defenders with strategies  and services to secure your AI data, models, applications, and infrastructure.

Securing the Future: The intersection of AI and cybersecurity

We’ve only just begun to realize the power of applying generative AI to security, but organizations using Gemini are already seeing improvement in how they manage complex security incidents. Learn how generative AI from Google Cloud can help seasoned security professionals quickly discover, investigate, and respond to threats, and help newcomers boost their skills to get more things done, faster. Join this session to learn about new features, hear from customers, and gain insights on how to address common security challenges with AI.

How AI can transform your approach to security

Outsmart attackers and protect your organization with intelligence-driven vulnerability management. In this webinar, Google threat intelligence experts will demonstrate how to prioritize vulnerabilities based on active exploit risk, get early warnings on threats, maximize patch efficiency, and reduce your attack surface.

Use Cases in Threat Intelligence: Making Vulnerability Management Easier

The complexity of cloud environments creates unique security challenges. These include dynamic attack surfaces and adversaries expertly disguising themselves with native tools.  Threat hunting becomes crucial for security teams seeking to reduce dwell time, by uncovering threats that slip past traditional defenses.

In our second installment to the Beyond Detection Threat Hunting series, Mandiant experts will discuss:
 - How to adapt your threat hunting program to cloud or hybrid environments 
 - Real-world examples of how to turn cloud compromises into hunt missions 
 - How hunt findings can influence cloud hardening and response 

Learn how to hunt for evidence from a previous or existing cloud compromise to enhance future response capabilities and realize new methods of threat detection.

Beyond Detection: Hunting for threats in the cloud

Decades of threat detection, investigation, and response initiatives over-relied on DIY approaches and delivered mostly underwhelming results. This webinar will introduce Google’s paradigm for modern security operations and demonstrate how recent advancements in applied threat intelligence, automation, and AI give defenders a chance to flip the script and generate more security outcomes with less effort.

Work Smarter, Not Harder: Frictionless Security Operations with Google

Discover how to streamline your security operations and maximize your threat intelligence investment. In this webinar, we'll explore essential use cases for Google Threat Intelligence, showcasing how it can empower your IOC Enrichment, Incident Response and Forensics, Threat Hunting, Brand Protection and Vulnerability Management.

Join us for a hands-on demonstration of each use case and see benefits of faster threat detection and proactive defense strategies.

Use Cases in Threat Intelligence: Turn Insights into Action

As more business-critical workloads are migrated to cloud environments, cloud security and security operations teams struggle to gain visibility and insight into the cloud risks that could jeopardize their business. Operational silos and disconnected tooling make it difficult to proactively identify high-risk issues and efficiently take the necessary steps to remediate them. But what if we could converge cloud security and SecOps into a single platform, with a single view of security events and data, to break down silos and manage the full lifecycle of cloud risks?

Join us to learn how proactive and reactive cloud security practices are coming together, enabled by converged platforms that unite security and SecOps teams so that more experts can act on cloud issues. See how Google Cloud’s Security Command Center can identify risks in multi-cloud environments, prioritize the most serious ones, and get them into the hands of the right teams for quick remediation. By bringing cloud security and SecOps together we can make the cloud safer.
