Webinar: The forgotten Google Workspace access that can lead to a breach

Third-party applications can make Google Workspace far more useful, but integrations granted access months or years ago can also become an overlooked path into an organization's data.
On September 23, 2026, BleepingComputer will host a live webinar titled "Breach autopsy: How fast-growing companies are breached through Google Workspace" with Material Security.
The webinar will feature Rajan Kapoor, Vice President of Security at Material Security, and Rick Fitzgerald, President of Fireside Consulting LLC, examining real, publicly documented Google Workspace breaches and what organizations can learn from them.
As companies grow, employees connect applications and services to Google Workspace to improve productivity and automate business processes. Those integrations may receive access to email, files, contacts, and other sensitive information.
The problem is that access can outlive its original purpose. An application may no longer be actively used, its owner may have left the company, or security teams may simply have lost track of the permissions granted to it.
These forgotten integrations can leave users, data, and connected applications exposed while creating access paths that aren't necessarily obvious to defenders.
The webinar will examine how overly permissive third-party integrations and other overlooked weaknesses contribute to Google Workspace breaches, as well as which controls can provide the greatest value for fast-growing companies with limited security resources.
Attendees will also hear what happens during the critical first hours after a breach and which decisions can help contain an incident or make its impact worse.

When yesterday's integration becomes today's security risk
Fast-growing organizations can accumulate a large number of applications connected to Google Workspace as employees adopt new services and business processes change.
While these integrations can be legitimate and useful, security teams need visibility into which applications still have access, what permissions they have, and whether that access is still necessary.
An overlooked integration with excessive permissions can create an unexpected path to sensitive information, particularly when nobody remembers approving the access in the first place.
This webinar will use real-world Google Workspace breaches to explore these overlooked weaknesses and identify practical improvements organizations can make without building an exhaustive security program.
The upcoming webinar will cover:
How overly permissive third-party integrations can expose Google Workspace environments
How social engineering provides attackers with other unexpected paths into organizations
What happens during the first hours of a Google Workspace breach and which decisions matter most
Which security controls provide the greatest value for lean security teams
Practical security improvements organizations can implement quickly, ranked by effort and potential impact
Join us to learn how overlooked access can contribute to Google Workspace breaches and which security controls can help fast-growing companies reduce their exposure.

Third-party applications integrated with Google Workspace can create significant security vulnerabilities because permissions granted months or years earlier may remain active long after their original necessity has expired, inadvertently establishing overlooked paths into an organization's sensitive data. This issue arises because as organizations grow and adopt new services, numerous applications are connected to Google Workspace to enhance productivity, often receiving access to email, files, and contacts. The core problem lies in the possibility that these integrations retain excessive permissions or become completely forgotten by security teams, leaving connections exposed without adequate review.

The webinar, hosted by BleepingComputer on September 23, 2026, will examine how these forgotten integrations contribute to Google Workspace breaches, utilizing real-world examples to illustrate the risks. The discussion will explore how overly permissive third-party integrations can expose the Google Workspace environment and how social engineering can provide attackers with unexpected entry points into organizations. Furthermore, the session will detail the critical sequence of events that occur during the initial hours following a breach and analyze which decisions are most crucial for containing an incident or exacerbating its impact.

Attending attendees will learn about identifying overlooked weaknesses stemming from integrations and gain insight into which security controls offer the greatest value for rapidly growing companies operating with limited security resources. The webinar aims to provide practical security improvements that organizations can implement quickly, ranked by both the effort required and the potential impact, allowing lean teams to reduce their overall exposure effectively. The session will feature insights from Rajan Kapoor, Vice President of Security at Material Security, and Rick Fitzgerald, President of Fireside Consulting LLC, providing an examination of these overlooked weaknesses and actionable remediation strategies based on documented Google Workspace breaches.
