Chrome Enterprise Premium: Enhanced Security for Business

Google is announcing the release of Chrome Enterprise Premium, a paid version of its browser aimed at companies that want to enhance the privacy of their data. Google is not content with a traditional free offering, but aims to meet the specific needs of professional environments from an IT security perspective.

During the Cloud Next event, the tech giant unveiled this new offering, highlighting its improved features aimed at providing increased levels of protection. This version, called Chrome Enterprise Premium, stands out for its price, set at $6 per user per month, which positions Google in the premium segment of services aimed at businesses.

At the heart of this offering is a range of advanced security features that enable organizations to better control and enforce compliance with their data protection policies. This paid version also offers in-depth online threat intelligence and increased control over web applications, which is critical in an environment where cybersecurity is paramount.

Google’s main argument is based on the need to prevent data leaks, which is a serious problem in the context of the increase in the number of cyber attacks. By offering comprehensive threat and data breach protection, the Mountain View firm hopes to attract companies seeking to ensure the privacy of their sensitive information.

Reviews from users such as Snap, Snapchat’s parent company, and Roche confirm the effectiveness of this solution. These companies report significant reductions in the transfer of sensitive information and successful detection of data breach attempts after upgrading to Chrome Enterprise Premium.

While Chrome remains largely free to the general public, the initiative illustrates Google’s desire to diversify its offerings and address specific business needs from an IT security perspective. The approach is part of a trend where tech giants are looking to further monetize their products in professional markets while offering services tailored to their specific requirements.
