In the wake of significant cybersecurity incidents with Microsoft, Google Workspace offers a safer choice
Microsoft’s ongoing security struggles recently came to a head with a series of high-profile incidents that put its customers at risk. One such incident in the summer of 2023 by the group known as Storm-0558 resulted in the compromise of senior U.S. and U.K. government official accounts, including 22 organizations, over 500 individuals, and tens of thousands of emails. This prompted the Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB) to issue a detailed report identifying the company’s “cascade of security failures”1 that led to the data breach.
In this whitepaper, we share some of the history of how our security strategy has evolved as well as more details about the controls and security benefits of using Google Workspace, including apps like Gmail, Google Drive, Slides, Docs, Meet, Chat and more.
