FULL STORY
======================================================================

Google has announced the addition of an Enterprise Web Store for browser 
extensions for businesses using the Chrome browser and ChromeOS. 

Set to enter preview later in 2024, businesses will soon be able to curate a 
selection of company-approved extensions to showcase within the 
employee-facing store, helping to standardize extensions across the business. 

In doing so, companies will be able to minimize security risks by blocking 
access to unverified or potentially harmful extensions, which could 
compromise sensitive and confidential data. Chrome extension stores 

Behind the scenes, the new extensions store option will also feature Googles 
security operations (SecOps) tools, offering real-time telemetry and risk 
scoring to give IT admins detailed insights into extension usage and 
potential threats. 

At the same time, Google also announced several AI-powered enhancements for 
Chrome Enterprise and ChromeOS, including a Help Me Read feature that 
summarizes documents, Welcome Recap which helps users continue from where 
they last left off, and Live Translate, which offers real-time audio 
translation. 

Google also announced a handful of new and improved security features, like 
copy and paste control policies and screenshot protections, all in a bid to 
keep company data protected against third parties. 

Theres also a new rollback feature for ChromeOS, which allows users to revert 
to a previous version of the operating system without losing data. 

Mark Berschadski, Director for Product Management at Chrome Enterprise, and 
Naveen Viswanatha, Head of Product Management at ChromeOS, commented: 
Securing the browser is a critical step to protect your organization from 
threats. Securing your physical devices is an equally important step.
