G Suite Security Features!

Google has released many new tools for its G Suite (Formerly Google Apps for Work) productivity apps for businesses that would give administrators a more control over data security. 

As per Google, millions of businesses pay for G Suite, which includes cloud-based communication, document creation apps, collaboration, and storage. 

Google has introduced a number of security features to help administrators to secure the data present in Google Apps for Work. 

Let’s see some new security features, which aim to keep businesses’ data safe on this platform.

1.       Security Key Enforcement

Administrators could already enforce a two-stage verification process, which would require end-users to utilize a physical security key that plugs into a computing device such as a laptop or a personal computer, or pairs with a mobile device such as a smartphone in order to access their Google Apps accounts. 

Now, administrators could limit login exclusively to clients with a secure key.

2.       DLP (Data Loss Prevention) For Google Drive

A Data Loss Prevention feature is already available for a Gmail account and now it is also available for Google Drive. 

With a DLP solution, administrators could control what content can be stored on Google drive and prevent clients from accidentally sharing confidential and sensitive data externally.

3.       S/MIME Encryption For Gmail

For enhanced email security, this suite now allows businesses to bring their own particular certificates for S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) encryption.

It is a widely accepted protocol to send digitally signed as well as encrypted messages.

In addition, companies would also be able to enforce S/MIME encryption usage and set DLP rules based on particular hierarchical unit needs.

4.       Third-Party Email Archiving

Businesses that use certain types of SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) archiving solutions could now effectively incorporate them with Gmail.

For this, you can choose G Suite package from BookMyIdentity, which would provide you a completely new way to work together online, not only using email and chat, but also real-time document collaborations, social media, video conferences, and much more.
