Thales Security Solutions for Google Workspace - Solution Brief

In a world of digital transformation and cloud-based apps, cloud providers and enterprises are looking for stronger cloud security and compliance. Addressing this challenge, Google Workspace now provides enhanced privacy and confidentiality options with Client-side encryption– a solution that enables enterprise customers to have full control over their encryption keys using the combination of SafeNet Trusted Access and CipherTrust Cloud Key Management.

Adhering to a concept of ‘shared security’, Google recommends that customers use an Identity Provider (IDP) and external key manager (EKM) to ensure that only authorized and authenticated individuals can access protected documents. Only Thales develops an independent IDP and key management solution.
