Google Workspace has been updated with client-side encryption and new Google Drive phishing and malware content protection.

Enabling Client-side encryption for a document will only allow you and your partner who holds the key to access the contents of the encrypted Google Workspace files.

"We'll be rolling out a beta for Client-side encryption in the coming weeks for Google Workspace Enterprise Plus and Google Workspace Education Plus customers.," Google said.

While initially rolling out to Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides, Client-side encryption will also be available across Google Workspace, including Gmail, Meet, and Calendar.

"Every Google Workspace customer already benefits from the built-in protections in Google Drive that help block phishing and malware content from external users and organizations," Google added.

Google Workspace was also updated with enhanced data loss prevention and classification with Drive labels and additional control over secure collaboration in Google Driver using trust rules.
