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.
