Helping to modernize security whether you are transforming your systems in our cloud or in place.

Did you know that the cloud presents better security improvement opportunities than on-prem? We had a sneaking suspicion this was the case! But don’t just take our word for it, see what security leaders and SecOps practitioners had to say about that topic and more. 

Google Cloud’s recent survey of 400 security leaders and security operations practitioners dug into the capabilities, procedures, and behaviors of protecting against, identifying, and remediating cloud-based threats.

Join us as we share the insights from this survey, including the main challenges and opportunities for SecOps teams as they transform to a cloud-first threat detection and response mindset.

We’ll cover key findings, including:
 - Why the cloud offers superior detection and response opportunities than on-prem.
 - How automation can solve short-term and long-term security challenges.
 - What are the greatest threats to the cloud, like data leakage and cryptomining.
 - Guidance on how to incorporate these lessons into your company’s current operations and considerations.

What you need to know: 2023 State of Cloud Threat Detection and Response

The most impactful attacks of today do not target production systems. Instead, they focus on the software supply chain. The well-known SolarWinds attack threatened thousands of organizations, for example, while a bug in the widely used Apache Log4j 2 library affected millions.

Join this webinar where we talk about some of the most notorious software supply chain attacks, discuss lessons learned from these, and offer actions you can take right now to prevent similar attacks from happening.

Lessons Learned for Security Product Managers to Avoid Data Platform Pitfalls

Nearly one year ago, Russia invaded Ukraine, and we continue to see cyber operations play a prominent role in the war. To provide more insights into the role of cyber, we released Fog of War: How the Ukraine Conflict Transformed the Cyber Threat Landscape Report based on analysis from Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), Mandiant, now part of Google Cloud, and Google Trust & Safety.

Join our upcoming webinar to explore new findings, and retrospective insights, across government-backed attackers, information operations (IO), and cybercriminal ecosystem threat actors from the report. 

Highlights include:
- Shifts in Russia’s government-backed attackers tactics and efforts.
- How Moscow has shaped public perception of the war.
- The effects on the Eastern European cybercriminal ecosystem, and how it has changed.

Speakers:
Toni Gidwani, Security Engineering Manager - Google Threat Analysis Group
Tina Tong, Threat Intelligence Analyst - Google Threat Analysis Group
Ben Read, Senior Manager of Threat Analysis - Mandiant, now part of Google Cloud

Fog of War: How the Ukraine Conflict Transformed the Cyber Threat Landscape

Modernize Your SOC for the Future

With external code and data collaboration becoming the norm for organizations, we have moved from a world of “Trust but Verify” to “Verify, and only then Trust”.

In this talk, we will demonstrate two ways to make sure the workloads you are running are really what you expect. Showcasing both Confidential Space that allows secure data collaboration with external parties, and BinaryAuthorisation that explicitly makes sure the code you deploy is really what you expect it to be.

How to collaborate and deploy secure code without trust

Organizations are prioritizing application modernization which allows them to accelerate time to market, unlock value, and improve operational efficiency. With new threats arising, Google offers essential tools to deploy foundational security to achieve a solid security posture.
