Broad zero trust implementation
Chrome Enterprise Premium is built upon zero-trust security principles, offering comprehensive and continuous identity verification and access controls. By integrating seamlessly with identity and access management (IAM) providers and multi-factor authentication (MFA) systems, Chrome Enterprise Premium can ensure secure authentication and enforce different levels of access based on where users are connecting from.
