Earlier this year, Google announced an expanded set of capabilities within the Chrome Enterprise connectors framework, where they will partner with industry leaders CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Netskope.
The framework, which is available for Chrome Enterprise Upgrade users, simplifies integration between Chrome browser/ChromeOS and solution providers, offering a range of connectors and APIs for administrators managing these devices.
It enables extended ChromeOS functionality through integrations with various providers for identity and access control, endpoint management, and proactive security insights and reporting.
Additionally, users can enhance productivity with ChromeOS Desk, which allows configuring customised desks with essential apps and windows for specific tasks, and integrates with communications providers like Dialpad, Edify, NICE, and RingCentral.
These new capabilities allow users to:
Evaluate Risks Before They Potentially Impact Your Devices
By incorporating the XDR Connector, you can monitor threats for your ChromeOS devices using the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. This convenient integration enables you to quickly assess the risk level of your device fleet through a unified command console.
Closely Monitor User Activity Using Palo Alto Networks
Using an expanded set of events within Chronicle, Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR, and CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale, you can now view activity and user behaviour across your fleet of devices to proactively identify and mitigate risks.
Control Access to Your Devices Through Netskope Intelligent SSE
The integration of Netskope Intelligent SSE and Microsoft Defender allows for the inclusion of ChromeOS devices in Azure AD conditional access support. This allows you to restrict access to services of the operating system itself when originating from untrusted environments.
It’s never been easier to integrate Chrome browser and ChromeOS with solution providers. The Chrome Enterprise connectors framework provides a comprehensive suite of connectors and APIs that streamline the integration with tools to help you improve security and enhance productivity for your business.
