FEATURE #1: Integrating Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
This decade is the decade of cyber theft, data breaches, and whatnot. In order to make sure that the data of billions remains under the veil of their owners and inside the storage space of trusted PCs, the Google new update includes the feature of integrated Data Loss Prevention (DLP) in Chrome. In the first place, Google has tried to put an end to accidental data sharing that usually happens at the hands of users. It could be a new employee who ends up saving the details of his company credit card on an unprotected website. Another protection is imposed on malicious insiders who pave the way to intentional data breaches. They might end up pasting confidential information into an unsafe website. Other steps have to be taken against risky Chrome extensions that end up exposing your organization’s data to hackers. Apart from this, hackers usually have the ability to exploit browsers like Chrome wherein they run malicious codes and can easily steal confidential information. DPL has been integrated into Chrome to provide protection against all these.

FEATURE #2: Chrome’s Context Aware Feature.
Usually, some devices require higher security as compared to others. In this case, DLP customization is used to alter the security posture of high-security demanding devices. Herein, administrators provide permission to users for downloading confidential pieces of information on any of such devices. This endpoint protection feature will automatically stop users from downloading the same information on their own devices since they don’t fulfill the security criteria.
FEATURE #3: The Much-Awaited URL Filtering.
URL filtering simply refers to blocking or warning the employees from opening such webpages or accessing websites that are unsafe or can pose a threat to the information stored in the corporate device in use. This feature is a masterstroke of privacy since it can enable a user to constrict access as well as block employee users from visiting websites wherein they might potentially share confidential information of the company.
FEATURE #4: Risk assessment in Chrome.
Risk assessment stands out to be a cutting-edge security feature that is being extended by umpteen antivirus and software companies. Along the same lines, the Google new update has introduced two brand-new Chrome extensions that can help in risk assessment. These are CRXcavator and Spin.AI Risk. The browser extensions are designed with the aim of minimizing the associated risks of data breaches, cyber theft, etc. Best of all, these extensions will be available on the Chrome Browser Cloud Management for the security analysts out there so that they can assess the risks emerging in the browser.
