GCP – Introducing the Agentic SOC Workshops for security professionals

The security operations centers of the future will use agentic AI to enable intelligent automation of routine tasks, augment human decision-making, and streamline workflows. At Google Cloud, we want to help prepare today’s security professionals to get the most out of tomorrow’s AI agents.

As we build our agentic vision, we’re also excited to invite you to the first Agentic SOC Workshop: Practical AI for Today’s Security Teams. This complimentary, half-day event series is designed for security practitioners looking to level up their AI skills and move beyond the marketing to unlock AI’s true potential. Ultimately, we believe that agentic AI will empower security professionals to focus more on complex investigations and strategic initiatives, and drive better security outcomes and operational efficiency.

Our vision is a future where every customer has a virtual security assistant — trained by the world’s leading security experts — that anticipates threats and recommends the best path to deliver on security goals. We are building the next class of security experts empowered by AI, and these workshops are your opportunity to become one of them.
