Google Cloud Cybersecurity Forecast 2026

The massive growth of non-human/agentic identities creates an exploding attack surface, with most identities over-permissioned. The rise of agentic AI amplifies this risk, introducing vulnerabilities like "confused deputy" and prompt injection that expose privileged data. Securing the entire AI supply chain demands a shift away from broad, static service accounts.

This webinar details how to protect your AI innovation with Google Cloud's comprehensive, "identity-first" security stack. We'll explore a platform based on robust IAM and resource management. We will show you how to secure the entire AI lifecycle without static keys using Workload Identity for a strong, attestable identity for every component. To counter agent intent risks, we introduce a vision of ephemeral, just-in-time identities. These capabilities, combined with Gemini-powered tools, help maintain a strong security posture, improve permissions hygiene, and build defense-in-depth for your AI workloads.

What you will learn:
> How to manage the explosion of non-human identities with a modernized, identity-first security stack and federated authentication.
> The critical role of Universal Workload Identity in creating a verifiable chain of trust without static keys.
> Strategies to mitigate novel AI risks like the "confused deputy" by moving towards ephemeral, just-in-time identities that secure an agent's intent.
> How to build defense-in-depth using a full suite of access management controls (IAM Allow/Deny, PAM, Principal Access Boundary).

Join us to learn how to leverage Google Cloud IAM to secure your entire AI ecosystem and innovate with confidence.

In the world of digital advertising, protecting data is a top priority, especially as you work with customer information and campaign performance metrics. Confidential computing provides a powerful solution for protecting data while it's being processed, in addition to strengthening data protection at rest and in motion. It uses isolated, hardware-enforced environments called Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to ensure your data remains protected even from the cloud provider itself. This technology is already being used in Google Ads to enable "confidential matching," which lets you securely match your first-party data with Google's data to build audiences without exposing raw user information.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:
> Understand the security benefits of confidential computing for your Google Ads campaigns.
> Leverage confidential matching to create audience segments from your first-party data while strengthening privacy and security.
> Gain insights into the key technical guarantees that strengthen your data protections.

Register now to empower your organization to safeguard its most valuable assets in the cloud and on Google's advertising platform.
