Webinar: Forgotten access to Google Workspace that could lead to hacking

Third-party apps can make Google Workspace much more useful, but integrations that were made available months or years ago can also be a lost path to an organization’s data.

On September 23, 2026, BleepingComputer will host a live webinar entitled “Uncovering the Hack: How Fast-Growing Companies Are Being Hacked Through Google Workspace“with material support.

The webinar will feature Rajan Kapoor, VP of Security at Material Security, and Rick Fitzgerald, President of Fireside Consulting LLC, who will examine real-life, publicly documented Google Workspace security breaches and what organizations can learn from them.

As companies grow, employees connect apps and services to Google Workspace to improve productivity and automate business processes. These integrations can access email, files, contacts, and other sensitive information.

The problem is that access can outlive its original purpose. Perhaps the application is no longer actively used, its owner has left the company, or security teams have simply lost the permissions granted to it.

These forgotten integrations can leave users, data, and connected applications exposed, while creating access paths that are not necessarily obvious to defenders.

The webinar will examine how overly permissive third-party integration and other overlooked flaws contribute to Google Workspace hacks, and which controls can most benefit fast-growing companies with limited security resources.

Participants will also learn what happens in the critical first hours after a breach and what solutions can help contain the incident or worsen its consequences.

When yesterday’s integration becomes today’s security threat

Fast-growing organizations can accumulate large numbers of applications connected to Google Workspace as employees adopt new services and business processes change.

While such integration can be legitimate and useful, security teams need to have an understanding of which applications still have access, what permissions they have, and whether that access is necessary.

Unnoticed integration with excessive permissions can create an unexpected path to sensitive information, especially if no one remembers that they initially approved access.

This webinar will use real-life Google Workspace breaches to explore these overlooked weaknesses and identify practical improvements organizations can make without creating a comprehensive security program.

The upcoming webinar will cover:

• How Overly Liberal Third Party Integration Could Put Google Workspace at Risk
• How social engineering opens up other unexpected ways for attackers to penetrate organizations
• What happens in the first hours of a Google Workspace hack and what decisions matter most
• Which security controls provide the most value to lean security teams?
• Practical security improvements that organizations can quickly implement are ranked by effort and potential impact.

Join us to learn how lapses in access can contribute to a Google Workspace breach and what security measures can help fast-growing companies reduce risk.
