The Modern Attack Chain: Rethinking Google Workspace Security in the Age of AI
Stolen OAuth tokens offer an alternative entry point into Google Workspace beyond phishing, prompting Material Security to urge organizations to implement defenses covering the entire Workspace attack chain.
Google Workspace attacks increasingly bypass phishing by exploiting stolen OAuth tokens, granting direct access to Gmail, Drive, and connected systems. Material Security warns that organizations must defend the entire attack chain, not just email gateways. Traditional security gaps leave businesses vulnerable as AI-powered threats evolve, making token theft a primary vector. To protect sensitive data, companies need comprehensive defenses covering authentication, authorization, and data-level controls across all Workspace apps.
