2026 Defense Readiness Forum

Join Google Cloud security executives and your peer security leaders for an exclusive dinner forum. Together, we will discuss how to transition your security operations from a manual, reactive ticketing shop into an agile, engineering-driven Agentic SOC that stops attackers in their tracks.

As enterprise AI adoption accelerates, security leaders face unprecedented threats driven by machine-speed attacks.

Join fellow enterprise CISOs for an exclusive, closed-door forum to build an actionable blueprint for defense.

Key Discussion Themes

Frontline Threat Intelligence: Mandiant and Google frontline observations on adversary AI adoption across scale, speed, and sophistication.
Modernizing SecOps: Transitioning from reactive alert fatigue to automated response, reducing mean time to detect (MTTD) and remediate (MTTR).
Governance & Secure AI Adoption: Practical blueprints for safeguarding organizational AI workloads while maintaining business agility and compliance.

This event is invite-only. Confirmation emails are required to attend.

Looking for hands-on experience? Your security team is invited to also join our 2026 Security Defense Workshop, a hands-on half-day experience designed for security leaders and practitioners ready to move from AI exploration to real-world application.
