Enhanced Security in G Suite for Windows 10 Devices

Google’s smart business mailing solution, G Suite, has been constantly enriched with features to improve the productivity of an organization and to facilitate enhanced security. In this article, another newly introduced Functionality of G Suite Admin Console is discussed.

Now administrators of the organizations will be able to secure Windows 10 devices through their G Suite Admin Console. This is similar to how they can do it for Android, Chrome, Jamboard devices, and IOS devices. Here you get the benefit of enabling SSO which allows users with easy access to all SSO enabled applications including G Suite in the devices of Windows 10.

Admins have to use Google Credential provider of Windows to avail of the benefits. This Functionality allows the organization to use G suite credentials for the login of Windows 10 devices to access essential applications. Google’s anti-hijacking and suspicious login detection technology provide high protection to user accounts.

In G Suite Enterprise, G Suite Enterprise for Education and Cloud Identity Premium Services admins can use some special features. They can check whether the Windows 10 devices used to log in to G Suite accounts are secure and updated or not. Even they can ensure that the devices are within the compliance policies. Wiping and pushing the configuration of devices is also possible.

The admins can learn from Google’s help center How to enroll their devices for Windows device management and how to start enhanced desktop security for Windows. This helps users to do device management easily with no extra cost and provides data security as well.
