This move is part of Google’s broader effort to enhance security and productivity within its enterprise offerings. With the new tools, organizations gain the ability to restrict file sharing based on geographical location and security status, helping to further fortify data loss prevention measures. These extended data loss prevention controls are expected to become available in Gmail as well.
In addition to AI-powered data protection, Google is introducing advanced security features for Workspace users. Notably, client-side encryption (CSE) is now available in the Gmail mobile app. This feature enables enterprise clients to take control of encryption keys, ensuring that the content shared through these applications remains private and secure from third-party access, including Google’s own access.
