Webinar: The forgotten Google Workspace access that can lead to a breach
-
Third-party applications connected to Google Workspace often retain access long after their original purpose has been forgotten. This lingering permission is a hidden attack surface that can quietly lead to a breach, especially as organizations scale. Overly permissive integrations are a common weak point, and this webinar breaks down how those forgotten connections contribute to real-world incidents.
The session focuses on the practical side of reducing exposure, particularly for fast-growing companies that may lack visibility into their own connected apps. Instead of assuming an unused integration is harmless, the discussion highlights which security controls actually help close these gaps.
Key takeaways from the webinar include:
- The risk profile of third-party OAuth grants that remain active without oversight.
- Why default Google Workspace settings often fail to flag dormant or excessive permissions.
- Specific security controls—such as app access policies and regular audits—that can help reduce the attack surface.
If you are managing Google Workspace, this is worth a watch to see where your own environment might be exposed.

Is your organization actively auditing third-party Google Workspace integrations, or are you relying on default settings until an incident forces a review?
