The web browser used by your employees serves as the primary entry point for their online activities and access to various SaaS applications that facilitate their work. Consequently, it is more crucial than ever for organizations to provide a secure browsing experience, thereby safeguarding their data from unintentional disclosure outside the company.

Fortunately, Chrome Enterprise offers a reliable solution. While retaining all the capabilities of the Chrome browser, it provides an additional layer of protection and control that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of businesses. By utilizing Chrome Enterprise, companies can empower their employees with the necessary tools to enhance productivity while shielding them from potential cyber threats that may arise during their work.

Our newly published paper, “Protect Your Business on the Web,” delves into the ways Chrome is integrating Google’s robust security features and protections into its browser for businesses. To provide a starting point, we have identified five key methods by which Chrome Enterprise can safeguard your organization:

1. Preempting threats before they materialize

Avoid allowing phishing or malware to disrupt your workday. Chrome Enterprise is supported by Google’s substantial investment in security and its ongoing commitment to the web. The same Google Safe Browsing technology that protects 5 billion devices prevents employees from accessing malicious websites, even if they are being deceived by cybercriminals. Furthermore, companies can benefit from security on a scale unmatched elsewhere by opting into Safe Browsing’s Enhanced Protection mode for their employees. This mode leverages advanced AI and machine learning techniques, applies protections in real-time, and captures valuable data to identify instances where employees encounter these risks.

2. Offering additional safeguards for company data

Despite Chrome’s built-in safety features, employees may inadvertently disclose company data or, in extreme cases, intentionally attempt to do so. To mitigate these risks, Chrome Enterprise provides the option to implement data loss protection directly within Chrome. This can include applying watermarks to sensitive company content or restricting copy and paste functions on sites or apps that require additional controls, thereby enabling companies and employees to make safer choices when handling company data.
