Discover how Target modernized its MLOps workflows using Ray and Vertex AI to build scalable ML applications.  This session will cover key strategies for optimizing model performance, ensuring security and compliance, and fostering collaboration between data science and platform teams. Whether you’re looking to streamline model deployment, enhance data access, or improve infrastructure management in a hybrid setup, this session provides practical insights and guidance for integrating Ray and Vertex AI into your MLOps roadmap.

This talk explores the practical challenges and solutions of a global car manufacturer's SOC modernization. We'll move beyond theory to examine their use-case driven approach, focusing on Agile Methodology for rapid progress, Threat-Centric Design to guide security, "SOC as Code" for automation, and SOAR Playbooks for incident response. We'll share insights on optimizing log ingestion, building threat profiles, and "shifting left" by integrating security earlier in development. Additionally, we'll discuss organizational restructuring and balancing transformative change with incremental improvements. This session offers valuable lessons for security professionals modernizing their SOC in a large-scale enterprise.

It feels like there’s a new advancement happening in AI every day – but how do these discoveries go from their nascent state in the research lab to full-scale enterprise deployment?  And how do we ensure that these new tools and capabilities remain secure? Our panelists will explore this cycle of innovation – the iterative process of curiosity-driven research, practical application, and real-world impact of AI and machine learning. We'll examine practical case studies and underscore the transformative power AI has in the realm of security.  

Topics will include: 

• How Google connects AI research with real-world solutions for some of the largest enterprises in the world
• Google Cloud’s AI roadmap
• Cybersecurity considerations for emerging AI tools

APIs dominate the web, accounting for the majority of all internet traffic. And more AI means more APIs, because they act as an important mechanism to move data into and out of AI applications, AI agents, and large language models (LLMs). So how can you make sure all of these APIs are secure? In this session, we’ll take you through OWASP’s top 10 API and LLM security risks, and show you how to mitigate these risks using Google Cloud’s security portfolio, including Apigee, Model Armor, Cloud Armor, Google Security Operations, and Security Command Center.

Learn about key security features and practices to help you build and deploy agents securely using Vertex AI.

Chat with a Mandiant expert about services to help you use AI securely, assess AI for vulnerabilities, red team, and use AI to help defend against cyberattacks.

In this hands-on lab, you'll learn how to create a cross-region HTTP(S) load balancer that intelligently distributes traffic to instances in multiple regions. By setting up four Compute Engine instances across two regions, you'll configure the load balancer to ensure seamless traffic routing to the right instance. This lab will help you optimize application performance, improve availability, and enhance fault tolerance across geographically distributed systems.
