To increase account security, Google recently also started supporting passkeys for Google Workspace accounts.

New capabilities that enhance enterprise data loss prevention have also been outlined, and they will allow security teams more control over the sharing of sensitive information via Gmail, and who can share sensitive content in Drive.

Administrators will also be able to use Google AI "To automatically and continuously classify and label data in Google Drive to help ensure data is appropriately shared and protected from exfiltration."

Finally, a new way to keep enterprise data safe from third-parties will be made available, and it involves client-side encryption and storing encryption keys with trusted providers.
