Keeping Chromebooks secure with more admin controls
Device management tools in Google Admin console now give admins even more control to customize how and when groups of students and educators can access sites, apps and more. ChromeOS Data Controls are now available to admins, so you can set up rules to prevent copy and paste from specific websites (including content created by AI-based tools), screen capture, screen sharing and printing. IT administrators can create an information protection strategy with rules based on data source, destination and user access.
Later this year, users will be able to manage their camera and microphone settings across the operating system in one place. This way, it will only take one click for users to completely turn off their camera or microphone when they want to make sure they’re muted.
We’re also announcing an expanded set of capabilities for even more security on Chromebooks. We’re partnering with industry leaders CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and Netskope through the Security Insights and Reporting connector and the Identity and Access connector. Through integration with the XDR Connector, CrowdStrike customers can now monitor threats for their ChromeOS devices, within the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. This makes it easy and quick for admins to evaluate the risk profile of their device fleet in a single, unified command console. Sign up to try it today.
