Overview

Enterprise browsers enable conditional access policies restricting private resource application access to authorized employees and contractors connecting through the browser using an endpoint with a healthy security posture.

Enterprise browsers alleviate the concerns over unmanaged devices, reducing the risk of data exfiltration and reducing the complexity of implementing security controls.

Chrome Enterprise builds upon the standard Chrome browser and is designed for businesses, offering enhanced deployment, management, and security features, while the consumer version is the standard Chrome browser for personal use.

The Google Admin console allows IT administrators to manage various Google products for their organization, including the Chrome and Chrome Enterprise browsers.

For administrators who manage Chrome browser or ChromeOS devices for a business or school, the Chrome Enterprise Connectors Framework offers a collection of connectors and APIs that simplify the steps needed to integrate Chrome Enterprise browser and ChromeOS with Secure Access.
