Google has announced new business -oriented features that will enable IT managers to manage Chrome browser extensions more effectively. These developments aim to protect against extensions that pose a threat to cyber security. In particular, the management of browser extensions, which cyber criminals frequently used as the attack vector, has become a critical issue for institutions.
One of Google’s innovations is a customized Chrome web store experience for corporate users. Chrome Enterprise users (including the free Chrome Enterprise Core pack) will now be able to view pre -approved extensions on the home page of the store. In this way, employees will be able to access reliable and approved extensions more easily.
Companies will also be able to highlight their own reliable plug -ins, create groups for certain extensions, and customize the store interface with company logos, visuals and announcements. These steps aim to prevent employees from accidentally uploading harmful extensions.
These new features are critical for the prevention of events similar to a Phishing attack, especially in December 2023, which leaked to multiple Chrome extensions (eg Cyberhaven data security plug -in).
Google plans to offer more control tools for IT managers this year. One of them will be a setting that will enable extensions to remotely remove and automatically block future downloads. This feature aims to control security risks more effectively by providing a central management opportunity on extensions.
In addition, managers will soon be able to add special messages to the detail pages of extensions. These messages will be used to inform employees about the status of the extension of the extension of the extension of the extension. Google announced that this feature will be available in the beginning of 2025.
Google Chrome resources aims to help reduce threats
Google’s innovations aim to help companies reduce security threats caused by Chrome extensions. Thanks to these vehicles, institutions will be able to prevent employees to access approved and reliable extensions, and prevent possible data violations and cyber attacks.
These new approaches under extension management offer a more comprehensive and customizable solution, especially for IT security units. This can make the Chrome browser a safer option in business environments. The new features that Google will offer throughout the year show that this process will continue.
