Cloud Data Loss Prevention
Safeguarding confidential company information is now essential to the operation of the firm, not merely a recommended practice. Data breaches can have major effects in today’s society, ranging from operational problems and legal ramifications to monetary losses and harm to one’s reputation. To help businesses protect their sensitive data and stay compliant, Chrome Enterprise Premium, Google cloud cutting-edge secure corporate browser, now comes with an expanding range of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) features.
You now have even more precise control over the data in your business with some recent improvements made to Data Loss Prevention capabilities. From identifying possible risks and user behavior to managing data flow with strong security measures, looking into possible incidents with thorough reporting and analysis, and finally extending protection beyond desktops, this blog post will examine how these new capabilities support your organization’s entire Data Loss Prevention journey.
Discover and understand user behavior
The first step in avoiding data leaks is to understand how your users interact with your data. Chrome Enterprise offers strong features for observing user behavior and spotting possible dangers:
Chrome Security Insights
Through streamlined security monitoring, Chrome Security Insights enables Chrome Enterprise users to proactively detect possible attacks. With a few clicks, this functionality keeps an eye on 50 popular Data Loss Prevention detectors, security event logging, and important security setups.
With comprehensive reporting on users, domains, and sensitive data transfers, administrators may quickly identify and address security issues and obtain important insights into high-risk actions.
URL Filtering Audit Mode
The URL Filtering Audit Mode in Chrome Enterprise Premium is a useful tool for businesses looking to improve their online access guidelines. It gives administrators the ability to selectively turn on employee browser activity tracking without imposing limitations, giving them insight into user behavior and any security threats. IT and security professionals may effectively balance security and user productivity by using this data to drive their judgments about URL filtering policies.
Enforce DLP controls
It’s time to implement the appropriate controls to stop data leaks when you have a better understanding of your users’ behavior. A comprehensive suite of in-browser security features is provided by Chrome Enterprise.
Copy and paste protections
It’s critical to regulate user interaction with sensitive data. You may limit or prevent users from copying private information from websites or pasting it into unapproved apps or websites by using Chrome Enterprise Premium’s copy and paste safeguards. This fine-grained control lowers the risk of data breaches and aids in compliance with data protection laws by preventing data exfiltration and guaranteeing that private data remains inside specified bounds. Among the copy and paste safeguards are:
Stopping data from leaking into incognito mode: Are you worried that private information could be copied into incognito mode, where it might be able to evade security measures? You can now prevent or alert users when they try to copy data between incognito windows and regular browsing sessions with Chrome Enterprise Premium.
Managing data sharing between apps: Chrome Enterprise Premium now lets you block or alert users when they try to copy data from your web apps into external programs like Notepad, Microsoft Word, or other apps, which is useful for businesses trying to stop data leaks to other apps.
Data isolation across Chrome profiles: Users using several Chrome profiles or shared devices may increase the danger of data cross-contamination. You can now prevent or alert users when they try to transfer data between accounts using the new copy-paste controls in Chrome Enterprise Premium.
Protecting sensitive emails: Emails frequently include extremely private information that has to be protected. You may set up restrictions with Chrome Enterprise Premium, such preventing any copying from Gmail unless it’s being put back into Gmail.
Watermarking
Unauthorized data exchange is discouraged via watermarking. When critical corporate documents are read in Chrome Enterprise Premium, you may add visible watermarks that show details like the user’s email address, the date, or a personalized message. This makes it simpler to identify the source of any information that has been disclosed and deters data exfiltration.
Screenshot protections
Although screenshots are a handy tool to record information, there is a chance that they might leak data. You may stop users from capturing screenshots of critical material within the browser by using Chrome Enterprise Premium’s screenshot protection feature. This limits the possibility of illegal data gathering and gives your Data Loss Prevention approach an additional layer of security.
Together, these controls provide a thorough security plan that restricts the ways in which information may be stolen from your company.
Investigate potential data leaks
Being ready to look into possible security events is essential, even with the finest preventative measures in place. Chrome Enterprise offers the following resources to assist you in promptly recognizing and resolving threats:
Evidence Locker
The evidence locker offers a safe place to save documents and information that need to be looked at further by security personnel. For example, Chrome Enterprise Premium can prevent an employee from downloading a confidential financial report and keep a copy of the file in the evidence locker. IT and security teams receive a thorough report as a result, allowing them to do the necessary research and take corrective action. For additional details about Evidence Locker’s impending release, stay tuned.
Chrome Extension Telemetry in Google Security Operations
To provide you more insight into browser behavior, Chrome Enterprise Core connects with Google Security Operations, cloud-native security analytics platform. Detection and response teams could only examine static extension properties in the past. You may now establish dynamic rules that keep an eye on extension activity in your production environment, allowing you to proactively identify and address problems before they become threats. For instance, you can keep an eye on whether extensions are inadvertently accessing cookies or contacting distant servers. This improved visibility greatly lowers your organization’s susceptibility to malicious extensions by enabling your security team to identify and stop infrastructure threats and data theft in almost real-time.
Expand protection to other platforms
Chrome Enterprise is dedicated to expanding its desktop threat prevention features.
Mobile threat protections
Because more and more people are using mobile devices for work, it is crucial to secure the browser on these devices. Chrome Enterprise Core will now be able to safeguard Android devices that have download blocking. This capability will extend threat safeguards beyond desktops by enabling enterprises to implement policies that prohibit users from downloading dangerous files identified by Google Safe Browsing from the web onto their mobile devices. Additionally, organizations have the option to prohibit all Android downloads via controlled Chrome. Create an account with Chrome Enterprise Core now for free.
