Google Security & Threat Intelligence Summit
Event Overview
Join Google Cloud security specialists, World Wide Technology (WWT), and local peers in Honolulu for an immersive, full-day summit designed for the Hawaii SLED community — bridging strategic threat intelligence and hands-on public sector defense. The morning session serves both leaders and practitioners, opening with a peer-led user group featuring Hawaii-based success stories, followed by an exclusive Google Security Roadmap overview highlighting AI and Mandiant-integrated defense. A Google Threat Intelligence Analyst will then deliver a deep-dive briefing on adversary tactics impacting the Pacific region and educational institutions. After a networking lunch, attendees dive into the Google Threat Intelligence (GTI) Capture The Flag (CTF) experience — designed for all skill levels. Technical users gain hands-on threat hunting practice, while non-technical leaders receive a guided look at how modern threat intelligence is operationalized to neutralize threats in real time.
