Google announces key new security move. Google has today announced it is bringing key security improvements powered by Gemini AI to organizations of all sizes. For millions of Gmail users, already enjoying the benefit of AI-powered anti-spam and malware filtering, a new security advisor tool will give smaller businesses the same protection that large enterprises are used to.
Security Advisor Brings Enterprise-Grade Security To Gmail Rolling out across the next few weeks to paid Google Workspace customers, security advisor promises to bring enterprise-grade security to organizations of any size. It works by providing users with tailored intelligence to help defend against evolving threats, including the delivery of actionable guidance for admins. The intelligence insights produced by security advisor will be delivered directly into the IT admin’s inbox.
From the Gmail perspective, the security advisor will include a security sandbox where all email attachments will be scanned for malicious software employing a virtual environment to safely analyze said files. Google said the tool can “delay message delivery, allow customization of scan rules, and automatically move suspicious messages to the spam folder.” Gmail also gets enhanced safe browsing which gives additional protection by scanning incoming messages for malicious content before it is actually delivered.
This is in addition to the large language model that has already been producing quite remarkable results for all.
