Google has recently introduced a paid version of its popular web browser, Google Chrome, aimed specifically at businesses. Called Chrome Enterprise Premium, this version features advanced security tools to enhance data protection and safeguard sensitive information.

Let’s take a closer look at the key security improvements this paid version offers:

Enhanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

With robust DLP controls, Chrome Enterprise Premium can prevent both accidental and intentional data leaks. This ensures critical information remains within the organization, minimizing the risk of unauthorized data transfers.

Advanced Malware Scanning

Malware can be a significant threat to businesses. Chrome Enterprise Premium includes deep scanning for malware, identifying and neutralizing potential threats before they can compromise systems or steal sensitive data.

URL Filtering

Businesses can now filter URLs based on website categories, reducing exposure to malicious content and enhancing overall security.

Context-Aware SaaS Access

Chrome Enterprise Premium provides secure access to SaaS platforms, Google Cloud services, and private web applications, ensuring strict security protocols are maintained.

Leveraging Project Zero’s Security Expertise

Google’s security research team, Project Zero, contributes to Chrome Enterprise Premium’s robust security posture. Their cutting-edge insights and rapid security patches enhance Chrome’s ability to protect against emerging threats.

The Chrome Enterprise Premium plan is available for a monthly subscription fee of $6 per user. While the free Chrome Enterprise Core version remains accessible, businesses seeking advanced security features can now opt for the paid version.
