Security News > 2021 > May > Google Workspace Gets New Security Features
Google this week announced adding new security features to its Google Workspace collaboration and productivity solution, to provide administrators with more capabilities and controls for protecting users and organizations.
In the coming weeks, the new feature will become available for Google Workspace Business Plus, Enterprise Standard and Plus, and Education Standard and Plus licenses.
Rolling out in the next few months in Google Workspace is the ability to block users in Google Drive, which will allow users to remove other users' access to their content, to block others from sharing content with them, and to remove any files and folders that others might have shared with them.
The third security improvement that the company is launching for Google Workspace involves the ability to restrict access to Workspace resources, through app access control and new context-aware access for both desktop and mobile apps.
A new setting now generally available on Google Workspace allows administrators to block all third-party API access to Workspace.
For Google Workspace Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and Cloud Identity Premium, the company is expanding context-aware access to its own desktop and mobile apps, thus offering increased control over the manner in which users access Google Workspace resources.
