Superior BYOD security with Chrome Enterprise Premium

While securing company-issued devices involves established protocols, the real challenge lies in managing risks associated with personal devices. Chrome Enterprise Premium addresses this by extending critical security controls to the browser, regardless of the device. This is particularly vital for enterprises concerned about supply chain security, where vulnerabilities on personal devices could be exploited.

The Chrome Enterprise Premium advantage: balancing convenience and control

Ignoring the security implications of unmanaged devices is a gamble. Here are challenges that Chrome Enterprise Premium directly addresses:

• Data leakage: Sensitive data on personal devices is vulnerable. Chrome Enterprise Premium enforces policies to control data access and prevent leakage within the browser, keeping your data safe.
• Malware and phishing protection: Personal devices may lack robust security. With Chrome Enterprise Premium, security policies are enforced at the browser level, mitigating risks even if the device itself is compromised.
• Lack of visibility and control: IT departments often lack control over personal devices. Chrome Enterprise Premium provides visibility and control over browser usage, allowing policy enforcement regardless of device ownership, simplifying complexity for your teams.
• Compliance headaches: Meeting regulations is challenging with unmanaged devices. Chrome Enterprise Premium helps maintain compliance by ensuring consistent security policies across all devices accessing corporate resources. 
• Navigating Windows EOL: Ensuring a secure browser experience during Windows EOL transitions is crucial. Chrome Enterprise Premium provides a consistent, secure browser environment across all devices, regardless of the underlying OS. 

How Chrome Enterprise Premium delivers superior BYOD security

Chrome Enterprise Premium delivers superior BYOD security in several key ways, ensuring a robust and streamlined experience. One of the core features is its ability to provide policy enforcement everywhere. This means that Chrome Enterprise Premium allows administrators to define and enforce security policies directly within the browser, on any device.

This includes a wide range of restrictions, such as controlling downloads, copy-paste functions, website access, screenshot/screenshare prevention and more. At Qodea, we follow Google's recommended practices and run interactive workshops to share our knowledge with your teams, ensuring the best possible business outcomes and a thorough understanding of these powerful tools.

Furthermore, Chrome Enterprise Premium offers enhanced visibility and reporting. With this feature, you can gain valuable insights into browser usage and potential security risks across your entire fleet, including unmanaged devices. This allows you to identify and address threats proactively, rather than reactively.

Another significant benefit of Chrome Enterprise Premium is its seamless user experience. Security is focused at the browser level, minimising disruption to the user's personal device experience while ensuring corporate data remains protected. Finally, for existing Google Workspace customers, Chrome Enterprise Premium offers seamless integration, simplifying deployment and management.
