Why teams trust Workspace to secure their business emails, meetings, and data

In contrast to legacy productivity solutions, Gmail and Workspace were built to combat modern threats

Gmail’s cutting-edge AI defenses block more than 99.9% of spam, phishing attempts and malware.

Workspace’s cloud-only architecture means no patching or updates required to stay secure.

With Workspace, emails and files are stored in the cloud (not end-user devices) for simpler protection.

Organizations that are working safer with Gmail and Workspace

Snap logo

Snap chose Gmail and Workspace to gain a stronger security posture. In fact, since adopting FIDO2 Security Keys and moving to shorter login sessions across our company, we've had zero account takeovers for more than two years. We are also excited to be an early adopter of passkeys to provide more delightful and flexible experiences to our employees.

Keeping our citizens' data safe is paramount to our mission, and we chose Gmail primarily because of its security. After replacing a legacy email provider with Gmail, our users noticed a meaningful decrease in spam, phishing, and malware, helping us reduce our cyber security risks. We also freed up our IT team's valuable time and budget to invest in other areas since we no longer need a separate email security solution.

At Airbus, we’re already using Google Workspace client-side encryption to protect our most critical company data. The ability to fully control our own encryption keys while benefiting from Google's best-in-class productivity tools has been essential. Client-side encryption is a cornerstone of our modern information governance strategy.
