Google Workspace has built-in threat defenses, secure-by-design architecture, and security controls that help prevent threats like phishing and malware from ever reaching users and devices.
What cyber threats do businesses face today?
The threat landscape has fundamentally changed, from state-sponsored adversaries to commercially-driven ransomware groups that target business and public sector organizations around the world. And while cyber threats continue to grow in scale and sophistication, most data breaches begin with routine, well-known attack patterns.

And there’s been an exponential rise in cookie and authentication token theft as a preferred method for attackers, with an increase in email-delivered infostealers in 2024 compared to the previous year.
To effectively combat malicious activities and content, organizations must find ways to prevent threats before they emerge. That includes adopting a holistic approach that combines user education, well-defined security policies, and modern technology that can help prevent, identify, and respond to threats at scale.
