Google is giving the Chrome browser an enterprise security revamp. Called Chrome Enterprise Premium, it adds a host of advanced security features for those willing to pay a monthly fee.
Google has been using Enterprise Chrome for some time, allowing IT administrators to control things like browser settings and the applications used by enterprise users. Chrome Enterprise also offers data protection, malware protection, and phishing protection.
Chrome Enterprise Premium, priced at $6 per user per month, further enhances security by recognizing that the browser is now where the important work is.
As users around the world use Chrome on their phones and work devices and across a variety of software versions and platforms, Google has their back. Chrome Enterprise Premium offers a range of tools to keep every step of the way locked down.
Chrome Enterprise Premium comes in two versions: free Core and Premium. Google is pitching this version as a web browser that doubles down on online security, performs deep malware scans, blocks data leaks, and even lets you filter URLs based on website type.
However, there are some big differences between the paid and free versions of Chrome Enterprise. The Premium tier offers data loss prevention and deep malware scanning, but the Core tier (free) doesn’t. But even with Core, you still get basic features like phishing and malware protection.
There’s also some AI magic involved, which Google says it’s using to tackle malware and phishing head-on.
Chrome Enterprise Premium doesn’t stop there, it takes zero trust up a notch with context-aware access controls. This means it can sniff out potential data leaks, whether from approved applications or those not approved by the IT department.
Google has also added more controls to enable administrators to enforce policies and keep the software up to date with automatic updates to eliminate any new bugs that arise.
This version of Chrome is also designed to block suspicious add-ons, ensuring hackers can’t sneak in through any holes. Plus, it works perfectly with other Google and third-party security tools to cover all your bases.
