“The safety of our students has to be our primary goal. The security dashboard in Google Workspace for Education Plus gives us a whole new level of insight that we didn’t have before—whether it’s a spike in authentications or a potential outside threat. I look at it several times a day—and now, I can access flagged data in minutes rather than waiting a whole day.”

"The fact that Google Chromebooks have never had a ransomware attack is really reassuring for us. Ransomware is a scary thing, and running around everywhere, but ChromeOS is built from the ground up to be cloud native and secure. We've put it to the test across 20k devices and agree: we have not had a single ransomware attack on a Chromebook."
—Chris Clark, Director of Technology Support Services, Fairfield-Suisun USD

“One of the most important bodies of work that we're engaged in is the training and the enablement of the cybersecurity workforce. There are expected to be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs by 2025. Our new cybersecurity certificate will enable hundreds of thousands of people to get trained to help energy companies, to help hospitals, to help schools defend themselves.”

“I’m encouraged to see our own ‘Secure by Default’ approach gain momentum across the industry. When you put a device in the hands of a consumer or enterprise, they don’t need to run through a checklist to secure it. Instead, they get the seatbelts, the airbags, the roll bars. This shift from how technology has operated for the last 25 years is a game-changer for our collective security.”

“Security is baked into everything we do, rather than bolted on. But we're in this together. We believe it’s also the responsibility of technology companies and major organizations to push for more secure defaults and user-level customer controls. This shared fate approach extends beyond just Google Cloud and our customers - it affects all the clouds - making industry collaboration critical."
