How Falcon Shield helps secure Google Workspace

Google’s Zero Trust approach enables users to work securely from anywhere and offers built-in protection against phishing attacks, malware, ransomware, and supply chain attacks. However, misconfigurations of these settings can create security risks. CrowdStrike Falcon® Shield enables continuous data protection and privacy by reviewing configurations and alerting the security teams when misconfigurations put your content at risk.

Prevent data leakage

 

Secure file-sharing permissions to protect documents and files from unauthorized users:

  • Disable sharing files with “Anyone with Link”
  • Enable warning when files are shared outside the organization
  • Restrict external access to shared drives
  • Disable offline mode to prevent local copies of company files from being stored on locally

Detect deprovisioned users

 

Remove access to files and email for former employees and vendors:

  • Identify users who have left their role in the company
  • Review non-DLP users regularly and identify vendors no longer working with the company
  • Detect user accounts that were dormant for a predetermined length of time

Secure mail access and legacy protocols

 

Prevent email-borne attacks:

  • Find hidden malicious content
  • Actively quarantine suspicious emails
  • Trigger automated warning for unauthenticated emails
  • Disable legacy protocols
