BeyondCorp Enterprise is a scalable, agentless, end-to-end zero trust platform that lives entirely within Chrome Enterprise.
Google Cloud has announced the general availability of its new zero trust security product, BeyondCorp Enterprise, a scalable, agentless, end-to-end zero trust platform that lives entirely within Chrome Enterprise.
"Google is no stranger to zero trust-we've been on this journey for over a decade with our own implementation of BeyondCorp, a technology suite we use internally to protect Google's applications, data, and users. BeyondCorp Enterprise brings this modern, proven technology to organizations so they can get started on their own zero trust journey," said Google Cloud Security VP/GM Sunil Potti in a blog post.
Zero trust security is a completely different security paradigm from common "Castle and moat" security designs that treat enterprise networks as places to be hardened against outside attack.
Zero trust treats each element on a network as potentially dangerous until it proves otherwise: Each time a user wants to access a new network segment, open a different file, or launch a new application they're vetted by zero trust software to determine if they're still who they say they are, and whether their traffic is suspicious in any way.
Scalable zero trust that includes agentless support through Google Chrome, a global network of 144 edge locations in more than 200 countries, DDoS protection tested against 2.5 TB/sec attacks, and verifiable platform security.
