It appears that Google is putting in considerable effort to improve some G Suite services, notably Gmail for businesses. Google's service allows companies to use Gmail as an internal email service through a custom domain.
Google introduces new security features for G Suite starting today, G Suite admins can activate new security features supported by AI. These features are designed to detect and alert users to emails containing hidden malware and email phishing attempts.
Specifically, Google will start flagging emails containing encrypted files, script files, emails containing shortened URLs, and emails from spoofed domains or using spoofed sender names. Wondering how to shorten links? Check out the process here.
Here are the new features that G Suite Admins can fine-tune in the Gmail admin console:
Apps => G Suite => Gmail => Safety => Attachments includes features:
- Protect against encrypted attachments from untrusted senders
- Protect against attachments with scripts from untrusted senders
Apps => G Suite => Gmail => Safety => Links and external images includes features:
- Detect shortened URLs and reveal original links
- Scan images linked in emails
- Display warning prompts for clicks on links to untrusted domains
Apps => G Suite => Gmail => Safety => Spoofing and authentication includes:
- Prevent domain spoofing using similar domain names
- Prevent spoofing of employee identities
- Block inbound emails spoofing your domain
- Reject unauthenticated emails
All these new features will be rolled out to G Suite users today. Google plans to enable two of these features by default for all G Suite users on April 4th, including:
- Detecting links behind shortened URLs
- Scanning linked images
Right now, if you're using Gmail as your online mailbox, make sure to set up 2-step verification for your Gmail security. Details on how to create Gmail 2-step security can be found here
If Google enhances security features for G Suite using AI, then Netflix, the video streaming service, officially launches the Public Bug Bounty program with rewards of up to $15,000 USD for anyone who discovers security vulnerabilities in the service. This way, they can promptly address any vulnerabilities and ensure the safety of users as well as themselves.
