Organisations that are working safer with Gmail and Workspace

Snap logo

Snap chose Gmail and Workspace to gain a stronger security posture. In fact, since adopting FIDO2 security keys and moving to shorter login sessions across our company, we've had zero account takeovers for more than two years. We are also excited to be an early adopter of passkeys to provide more delightful and flexible experiences to our employees.

Nick Reva, Head of Corporate Security Engineering, Snap

Keeping our citizens' data safe is paramount to our mission, and we chose Gmail primarily because of its security. After replacing a legacy email provider with Gmail, our users noticed a meaningful decrease in spam, phishing and malware, helping us reduce our cyber security risks. We also freed up our IT team's valuable time and budget to invest in other areas since we no longer need a separate email security solution.

Airbus company logo

At Airbus, we're already using Google Workspace client-side encryption to protect our most critical company data. The ability to fully control our own encryption keys while benefiting from Google's best-in-class productivity tools has been essential. Client-side encryption is a cornerstone of our modern information governance strategy.

We want to use AI to get things done more smoothly. With AI classification in Workspace, we can move the labelling process along much faster and keep our documents secure. We have 100,000 users and billions of files in Google Drive. We couldn't handle the labelling process at scale without AI classification. It provides value immediately, from the moment that you turn it on

User productivity and security are traditionally at odds with each other — the more secure you are, the less productive you are. With Google Workspace, that no longer holds true. Our team can achieve both at the same time.

Trellix logo

Our previous siloed solutions made it hard to control where data was sitting and who was accessing it, so we had to lock down harder on each device to prevent information from crossing unwanted boundaries. Using Workspace end-to-end has reduced complexity around admin controls while making things easier and more enjoyable for employees across the devices of their choice.

Security becomes an afterthought when it's built by Google, because we know that Google has teams of people keeping us secure.
