We’re supporting that aim with our Q4 Security Talks 2024: Defender's Advantage, a dedicated day-long virtual event packed with insights and strategies to help you proactively secure your business.

Join our Google Cloud security experts on Tuesday, Nov. 19, for a deep dive into the latest threat intelligence, cutting-edge defense strategies, and innovative cloud security solutions.

What to expect: our sessions

The Defender’s Advantage in the real world of cyber defense: Gain a comprehensive understanding of the Defender's Advantage framework developed by Mandiant. This framework outlines six critical functions of cyber defense, providing a roadmap for organizations to optimize their security operations and achieve a lasting edge over attackers. It will also feature stories of how enterprises have aligned their operating models to the framework and advanced their cyber defense capabilities.

Presenters:
