Google Workspace is one of the most secure corporate email suites and business applications on the market.
User data is protected, it has excellent anti-spam filters and administrators are in control of everything that happens.
Among their constant updates, they recently released the following:
⠀⠀⠀⠀
New notifications when Drive content violates the Abuse Policy
Managing Gmail IMAP controls by group (In the Administrator Console)
Being able to configure Gmail IMAP settings at the group level provides more fine-grained control for defining trusted email clients. Previously, this was only possible to configure at the domain or UO level. As a result, users are assured of secure and reliable communications.
Enhanced content classification, control and DLP with Google Drive tags
- Drive tags: This feature allows administrators to configure custom tags (formerly called metadata) for a domain. Users can then apply these tags to files in Drive to ensure that they are handled correctly.
- Automated classification with Workspace Data Loss Prevention (DLP)The objective is to help organizations automatically add Drive tags to content according to administrator-defined rules and predefined content detectors.
- Being automated, it reduces the risk of manual sorting errors and facilitates the large-scale use of labels.
- Administrators can allow end users to change the tags applied by the DLP to provide flexibility to the organization.
- Tag-based sharing restrictions: Administrators can configure sharing restrictions to apply to all files that have a particular tag. For example, DLP administrators can configure a rule that shows users a warning whenever they attempt to share a file labeled "Confidential" and another rule that blocks external sharing or prevents downloading of all files labeled "Top Secret".
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why use these functions?
Important: The feature will be OFF by default and can be enabled at the domain level. Access controls for each tag can be managed at group level.
