Chrome Enterprise Premium: The future of endpoint security

I am really surprised they don't have a full blown EDR/EPP solution yet. From the title I thought that would be what this is about but from the content it doesn't look like it.

It seems like it'd be a logical step, especially after their Mandiant acquisition in late 2022 (various security services/threat intelligence). Maybe they would seek to acquire this capability as well.

This feels like a reaction to Edge beginning to eat the enterprise market.

The problem is convincing anyone to buy on to gamble if this product will exist by the end of the contract.

I haven’t looked closer, but it’ll be very funny if this is fully GPO driven when Microsoft is already pushing for cloud configuration via Intune instead.

Paying a subscription for a browser? We desperately need more browser agents supported/developed by “not a Big Tech Corp”

No, paying a subscription for a browser add on that boosts enterprise security.

I too would love more browsers from non-behemoths but I don’t think this particular example is a great argument for it.

I think The Register articulates quite well why it’s a bad idea and honestly it’s high time we consider that ad/AI companies can’t also be browser makers.

While criticism of Google (or FAANG is valid), the issue is these type of articles is that they write these are bad ideas but never propose a viable replacement that just works. In addition, they TheRegister

- has Google Ads

- has prominent AI promoting articles

Does this compete directly with Island? And what does the Google offering give that Island doesn’t and vice versa?

That's quite a lot of corporate fluff to announce 4 bullet points.

Google acting like they just invented Group Policy, which turns 25 this year.

I don't want Google as my anti-malware vendor thank you. The reason half these security problems exist is because Chrome is so bloated.

IE seems simple and efficient by comparison.
