The Google Cybersecurity Action Team claimed in a media advisory it will be “the world’s premier security advisory team with the singular mission of supporting the security and digital transformation of governments, critical infrastructure, enterprises, and small businesses.” But let’s get real: This is a professional services organization designed to drive high-margin engagement in enterprise accounts. But Google’s announcement of Work Safer, a program that combines Workspace with Google cybersecurity services and new integrations to CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks, is a step in the right direction. Missing from the many announcements were new approaches to dealing with just how chaotic, lethal, and uncontrolled breaches and ransomware attacks have become. Unfortunately, that doesn’t reflect the reality of how many legacy systems CISOs have lifted and shifted to the cloud for many enterprises.

With the latest series of cybersecurity strategies and product announcements, Google is attempting to sell CISOs on the idea of trusting Google for their complete security and public cloud tech stack.

Workspace also reflects the growing problem chief information security officers (CISOs) and CIOs have with protecting the exponentially increasing number of endpoints that dominate their virtual-first IT infrastructures. Workspace now has 4.8 billion installations of 5,300 public applications across more than 3 billion users, making it an ideal platform to build and scale cybersecurity partnerships. Google’s announced Work Safer initiative combines BeyondCorp Enterprise for zero-trust security and their Workspace collaboration platform. BeyondCorp Enterprise is Google’s zero-trust platform that allows virtual workforces to access applications in the cloud or on-premises and work from anywhere without a traditional remote-access VPN. The most valuable new announcements for enterprises are on the BeyondCorp Enterprise platform, however. The most noteworthy announcements are the formation of the Google Cybersecurity Action Team, new zero-trust solutions for Google Workspace, and extending Work Safer with CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks partnerships. During last week’s Google Cloud Next virtual conference, Google executives leading the security business units announced an ambitious new series of cybersecurity initiatives precisely for this purpose.
