Google Announced New G Suite Security Features
Google announced new updates that provide even stronger security in Gmail, Meet, and Chat. The company also shared new ways to help IT admins easily manage and secure devices in the Admin Console.
As per Google Cloud:
New pilot Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) will now enable organizations. Who authenticate their emails using DMARC, to validate ownership of their corporate logos and securely transmit them to Google. After passing all of the other anti-abuse checks on these authenticated addresses. Gmail will start showing the logo in existing avatar slots in the Gmail UI.
Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI)
BIMI brings benefits to the whole email ecosystem. Users and email protection systems will have greater faith in the source of emails by having strong authentication. And senders will be able to leverage their brand credibility to have a more engaging experience for their clients.
Google meet
The company is also rolling out new security controls in Google Meet to help ensure that only intended participants are let into a video meeting. Initially, these options will be available for consumers and G Suite for Education accounts.
The company is also giving meeting hosts increased control over who can “knock” and join their meetings. Improved meeting knocking builds on existing controls. That allows those not included on the calendar of a meeting to explicitly knock and ask for admission to a meeting. Hosts will get advanced safety locks so they can better protect meetings with a few simple clicks.
Google Admin
Easier management and additional security controls for admins. As per Google Cloud:
“The way we work looks very different now than it did six months ago, and IT admins are at the center of keeping their workforces online, productive, and secure. We’re introducing several new features to help admins keep their organizations secure. First, we’re simplifying and enhancing device management.”
We’ve redesigned the devices page in the G Suite admin console to include more intuitive navigation for device management and to quickly display the number of devices managed by each service. For more, you can visit here.
