Advanced Security & Threat Prevention | Google Workspace
Google Workspace comes equipped with advanced security features such as automated threat defenses, secure-by-design architecture, and security controls to safeguard against threats like phishing and malware. The evolving threat landscape, ranging from state-sponsored adversaries to commercially-driven ransomware groups, poses significant risks to businesses and public sector organizations globally.
Preventing Emerging Threats
As cyber threats grow in scale and complexity, it is crucial for organizations to proactively prevent threats before they materialize. Most data breaches originate from well-known attack patterns, with phishing emails constituting 89% of initial access attempts and software exploits accounting for 72% of successful intrusions.
Implementing a comprehensive defense strategy involves user education, robust security policies, and leveraging modern technology to detect, prevent, and respond to threats effectively.
Key Security Measures
Google Workspace offers a range of security solutions to combat malicious activities:
- Automatic blocking of harmful content, including malicious emails, files, and websites.
- Prevention of account takeovers with features like multi-factor authentication (MFA).
- Rapid response to threats with real-time threat signals.
- Enhanced Safe Browsing for additional protection against malicious websites and files.
- Security measures such as Passwordless login with passkeys, Single Sign-On, 2-Step Verification, and multi-party approval.
Enhancing Security Posture
By adopting Google Workspace, organizations can bolster their security posture and protect against various cyber threats, including data loss, account breaches, phishing, spam, and malware. Features such as 2-Step Verification, context-aware access, and endpoint management offer multiple layers of login protections for end users.
Streamlined Security Management
Google Workspace's built-in security tools empower Admins to enhance their organization's security posture efficiently. The Admin Console provides a centralized location for Admins to understand, investigate, and take actionable steps to improve security.
