Thales announced that its CipherTrust Manager and SafeNet Trusted Access have been integrated with Google Workspace Client-side encryption, a new privacy and confidentiality offering for Google Workspace users.

Providing enhanced key management capabilities and identity protection, customers can benefit from improved regulatory compliance and data ownership by allowing them to maintain ownership of keys used to encrypt Google Workspace documents.

Supported by Thales' CipherTrust Manager and SafeNet Trusted Access, Google Workspace Client-side encryption allows users to encrypt files and folders in Google Drive, including Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides, using keys that are controlled internally by the organization.

By offering both independent key management and identity protection through an external IDP, Thales supports cloud security best practices which call for separating these vital security functions from the data they are designed to protect.

"With Google Workspace Client-side encryption, customers hold control over their data's encryption keys and have access to an encryption solution seamlessly. By providing Thales' data security and identity protection capabilities through Google Workspace, this partnership expands the adoption and usage of one of the best collaboration tools on the market."

The joint solution from Thales gives organizations the power to determine who and how users access Google Workspace, and who can use encryption keys to access a Google Workspace file.
