Google Cloud Tuesday unveiled BeyondCorp Enterprise, its new zero trust identity and security platform with agentless support delivered through Google’s Chrome browser that’s used by more than 2 billion users globally.
Now generally available, BeyondCorp Enterprise is designed to provide continuous and real-time end-to-end protection, scalable DDoS protection and built-in, verifiable platform security. It includes embedded data and threat protection built into Chrome which has been quietly updated already to prevent malicious or unintentional data loss and exfiltration and malware infections from the network to the browser; phishing-resistant authentication; and continuous authorization for all interactions between a user and BeyondCorp-protected resources.
Google’s BeyondCorp Enterprise security platform is now generally available
Google today announced that BeyondCorp Enterprise, the zero trust security platform modeled after how Google itself keeps its network safe without relying on a VPN, is now generally available. BeyondCorp Enterprise builds out Google’s existing BeyondCorp Remote Access offering with additional enterprise features. Google describes it as “a zero trust solution that enables secure access with integrated threat and data protection.”
Over the course of the last few years, Google and especially its Cloud unit has evangelized the zero trust model and built a large partner network around this idea. Those partners include the likes of Check Point, Citrix, CrowdStrike, Symantec and VMWare.

Google is rolling out a suite of new zero trust security capabilities built directly into its Chrome browser.
The suite, called BeyondCorp Enterprise, is designed to expand on and replace BeyondCorp Remote Access, the companyâs cloud-based subscription tool that helps workers securely log in to their work systems and applications from home. The expansion announced this week includes a number of new features, including phish-resistant authentication, embedded data and threat protection, DDoS protection, continuous user authorization agentless support and other services that before now were only available internally to Google employees.

Google LLC said today that its BeyondCorp Enterprise framework is now generally available to all enterprises that want to enjoy the benefits of the “zero-trust” security model.
BeyondCorp Enterprise is a security framework that involves shifting access controls from the perimeter to individual devices and users, thereby enabling employees to work securely from any location without the need for a traditional virtual private network.
With BeyondCorp Enterprise, access control is no longer based on whether users are requesting that access from inside or outside of the corporate network. Instead, under the zero-trust model, it’s assumed that users requesting access from inside the network are just as untrustworthy as those seeking remote access, so access requests are instead granted based on details about the particular users, their jobs and the security status of the device they’re using.
