Google Workspace enhances business protection from cyber attacks with new “Security Advisor” feature

The cybersecurity landscape is becoming increasingly complex, with cyber attacks becoming more sophisticated and more frequent than ever. Due to a lack of resources and cybersecurity expertise, small businesses often become vulnerable targets to these attacks, with adversaries always looking for vulnerabilities to exploit. The "Security Advisor" feature enhanced by Google in Google Workspace has been "introduced" to prevent the above problems.

New updates of "Security Advisor"

“Security Advisor” is an intelligent security tool built into Google Workspace, designed to protect businesses from increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats. Different from traditional security solutions, Security Advisor uses artificial intelligence to intelligently analyze and evaluate threats. This feature not only detects known threats but also predicts and prevents emerging attacks, helping businesses stay one step ahead.

With the ability to detect and warn of suspicious activities early, Security Advisor helps businesses proactively prevent attacks, protect important data and ensure continuous operations.

The "Security Advisor" feature helps reduce troubleshooting time and optimize data protection costs.

Security Advisor provides an intuitive and easy-to-use security management experience. With just a few simple taps on the Admin Console, businesses can easily apply recommended security settings and customize them to their specific needs. This helps businesses improve their ability to protect information effectively. Additionally, Security Advisor helps businesses build a highly personalized security system. Recommended security settings are based on a comprehensive assessment of each business's environment and needs, helping to ensure that protections are applied effectively and appropriately.

In addition to providing an overview of the security situation, the security advisor also delves into specific aspects, including: 

• Protecting when browsing the web with Chrome Enhanced Safe Browsing
• Increasing email security with Gmail Enhanced Safe Browsing and Gmail Security Sandbox
• Protecting sensitive data with Data protection
• Controlling app access with App access protection

Security Advisor is an indispensable component of Google Workspace's security toolset. By enhancing security and increasing security awareness, this feature helps businesses minimize the risk of data loss and optimize business costs by reducing time spent on remediation. Troubleshoot and minimize costs associated with data breaches.

Investing in Security Advisor is an important decision for businesses to protect "intangible assets" - specifically "data". By enhancing security and preventing cyber attacks, Security Advisor helps minimize the risk of data loss, business disruption and damage to your reputation.
