There’s no denying that businesses must adopt endpoint modernisation strategies to remain secure and efficient in today’s environment. But beyond focusing on modernisation, businesses must also be prepared to protect against technical incidents and evolving threats. ChromeOS provides exactly that — advanced security and built-in resilience, ensuring that organisations can operate safely and seamlessly.
The recently published blog post, The ChromeOS Difference for Corporate Resilience, delves into how ChromeOS prioritises security with verified boot, sandboxing, and on-device encryption, ensuring robust protection even without third-party software. This focus on security has made ChromeOS the most secure operating system, with no reported ransomware attacks.
ChromeOS achieves this high level of security by restricting third-party access to its core operating system, including the kernel, which manages critical tasks and produces valuable devices and security telemetry for IT and security operations. Doing so not only protects users from many traditional system compromise methods, it also makes organisations more resilient against technical incidents.

ChromeOS has developed a unique extraction layer to further safeguard organisations using third-party security tools. This layer securely shares device telemetry data with third-party tools without granting direct access to the system kernel. By doing so, organisations can leverage Google’s APIs for the data they need without the risks associated with compromising the core operating system.

The operating system supports extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities and data controls. Every ChromeOS device contains a Google-managed security agent, which collects telemetry data and passes it through an encrypted pipeline. This data is shared with approved security vendors through a read-only API, unlike other operating systems that give third-party vendors core kernel access, which can introduce risks to critical functions like device boot-up.
This risk was recently a factor in the Crowdstrike outage
With features like endpoint detection and response (EDR) and data loss prevention (DLP), ChromeOS ensures a robust defense for your organisation.
