Google launches paid version of Chrome

The paid version of Chrome Enterprise Premium, launched on April 11, has many improvements over its free predecessor for businesses, Chrome Enterprise - now renamed Chrome Enterprise Core.

The Premium version allows for multiple browser management policies, comes with extended software and application updates, and supports multiple TCP network protocols such as RDP, SCP, and SSH.

Scenario-based access control can prevent data leakage through authorized and unauthorized applications. AI technology is also applied to improve threat response capabilities such as malware and phishing, as well as prevent data loss.

Managers can also limit the number and content of documents that can be uploaded or sent to printers for added security. Chrome Enterprise is compatible with a variety of business software, including Google Workspace, to ensure a smooth transition.

Meanwhile, the free Enterprise Core edition currently lacks advanced features like data loss prevention and deep malware scanning, but still maintains many key benefits like anti-phishing and anti-malware.

Google is also testing several new security features for individual users, including controlling which websites are granted access to the mouse and keyboard.
