As cybercriminals leverage modern tactics to exploit vulnerabilities and disrupt operations for businesses, cybersecurity threats continue to rise at an unprecedented rate. Traditional security measures are no longer sufficient, as legacy systems struggle to keep up with the speed and sophistication of modern attacks.
It’s no longer an option for businesses to adopt modern, robust, built-in security solutions like ChromeOS—it’s a necessity. By integrating security directly into the operating system, ChromeOS eliminates the need for reactive security patches and minimises risks associated with outdated endpoint defences.
Securing Business Data with ChromeOS Data Controls
As cyber threats evolve, businesses need to ensure their data remains secure while they keep operating as efficiently as possible. ChromeOS Data Controls provide IT and security teams with the tools to identify and mitigate data loss risks on ChromeOS endpoints, offering advanced rule-based protection to prevent unauthorised data movement.
ChromeOS Data Controls enable security admins to:
– Set up rules based on data source, destination, and user actions
– Safeguard business-critical information
– Prevent data leakage across endpoints
– Maintain compliance with enterprise security policies
How ChromeOS Data Controls Prevent Data Loss
IT and security teams can proactively safeguard sensitive data with rule-based controls that prevent both accidental leaks and intentional breaches, empowering administrators to enforce strict policies based on three critical factors.
Prevent Data Leaks with Proactive, Rule-Based Controls
1 Where the data comes from
Source-based rules protect valuable data stored in business-critical locations, applications, or software. Within minutes, admins can configure rules to prevent copying, pasting, printing, or sharing data from HR, finance, or other sensitive platforms.
2 Where the data is going
Destination-based rules prevent data from being shared externally. Admins can block pasting information into personal email accounts, blogs, social media platforms, or unauthorised websites and applications, minimising the risk of data exfiltration.
3 Who is moving the data
User-based rules ensure that only authorised personnel can handle sensitive information. IT admins can define access permissions, allowing certain groups to copy, paste, print, or screen share data while restricting others from performing these actions.
Here are a few ways ChromeOS gives IT admins complete control over how sensitive information is accessed, shared, and secured within their organisation:
- Restricts unauthorised data movement in real-time
- Prevents sensitive information from being copied, pasted, or printed
- Blocks unauthorised screenshots and screen-sharing attempts
- Automatically activates privacy mode when confidential data is displayed
- Gains visibility into security events and threats
- Aggregates and analyses security data within your preferred SIEM tool
- Defines rules for how files can be transferred between applications and users
With ChromeOS Date Controls, IT teams can enforce intelligent security policies to prevent data loss and ensure compliance. Admins can automatically enable privacy screens for confident content, restrict pasting data from Google Workspace to external sites, and block unauthorised screen sharing.
Real-time monitoring and security insights help detect risks, report suspicious activity, and prevent breaches before they happen—giving IT full control over how sensitive information is accessed and shared.
Seamless Integration with Enterprise Security Stacks
ChromeOS works effortlessly with existing security and identity infrastructures, allowing businesses to strengthen their data security posture without major overhauls. Chrome Enterprise Recommended solutions ensure seamless compatibility, and Data Control events integrate directly into SIEM tools, offering a unified view of security events across an organisation.
