The Gemini app is now a core service with enterprise-grade data protection for more Google Workspace editions

Qué está cambiando

As we recently anunciado, driven by our belief that generative AI can be transformative for every user, the standalone Gemini app (gemini.google.com) will now be included as part of most Google Workspace editions. With enterprise-grade data protections built in, users can now save time and deliver higher quality work — securely and compliantly — with an AI-powered assistant at work.

Beginning today, the Gemini app is now available as a core service with enterprise-grade data protection for Google Workspace users with the following editions:

Business Starter, Business Standard, Business PlusEnterprise Starter, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise PlusFrontline Starter, Frontline StandardEssentials, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Essentials PlusEducation Standard, Education Plus Google Workspace for Nonprofits

Más información

As a core service, the Gemini app will be covered under your existing Google Workspace or Google Workspace for Education agreement and will include the same technical support as other Workspace services. Gemini prompts, data, or generated responses won’t be reviewed by human reviewers or otherwise used to improve generative AI models without permission. More information on how we’re protecting your Google Workspace data in the era of generative AI can be found here.
Note: For Education customers, added data protection is available in the Gemini app as either a core or additional service.
Admin console service settings update
As part of this launch, we will be streamlining the Gemini app service settings in the Admin console. Specifically, we will be transitioning to a single checkbox for the user access setting:
The updated Gemini service setting (Admin console > Generative AI > Gemini app > User Access)
When the setting is unchecked (default state for most customers), the Gemini app as a core service with enterprise-grade data protection will be enabled only for:
Gemini for Workspace licensed usersUsers with a qualifying Workspace edition
When the setting is checked, the Gemini app will be enabled for all users, specifically:
Gemini for Workspace licensed usersUsers with a qualifying Workspace editionUsers without a qualifying Workspace edition can access the Gemini app as an additional service
Broader availability of Workspace extensions in Gemini
Expanding the Gemini app as a core service also allows these Workspace editions to leverage Extensiones de Google Workspace in Gemini, which are currently available in open beta for users 18 and older. Once enabled by an admin, extensions allow Gemini to cross reference various Google Workspace apps, like Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar, Keep and Tasks, as data sources to better inform its responses. Visit the Help Center to learn more about activar o desactivar las extensiones de Google Workspace para tu organización

Audit security settings using the Policy API, now available in open beta

Qué está cambiando

Simplifying the management of Workspace settings continues to be a priority for us. To that end, we’re introducing new tools to help streamline the process for admins. 

Launching to open beta today, we’re pleased to introduce the Policy API, which will help super admins programmatically access information regarding how their Google Workspace environment service level settings and rules are configured. With the Policy API, customers  gain a comprehensive view of all their settings, giving them a holistic view of Workspace security and compliance configurations. Admins will no longer have to navigate through numerous pages in the Admin Console.

To start, the Policy API is available as a read-only API. In future releases, admins will be able to use the API to create, update, and delete their settings, as well as data loss prevention (DLP) rules. Admins will be able to use the API to audit certain settings in the following categories:

Authentication controls such as account recovery, advanced protection program, login challenges, passwords.ChatClassroomDocs and Drive Gmail GroupsMarketplaceMeet SitesTakeout

The Policy API can also be used to read DLP rules, including the ability to:
Read all DLP rule configurations in the admin console, including: rule names and descriptions; applicable organization units (OUs) and groups; triggers and conditions; and app-specific alert actions.Read existing DLP detectors available in the admin console including the detector name, description, and wordlist configurations.Read admin-modified system defined alerts.

Por qué es importante

With the increase in sophistication and scale of cyber threats, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency’s Secure Cloud Business Applications (SCuBA) project provides guidance to secure agencies’ cloud business application environments and protect federal information that is created, accessed, shared and stored in those environments. 

The Policy API provides access to the settings that are part of these recommendations published in CISA’s Google Workspace secure configuration baselines. Customers who wish to evaluate their Workspace policies against these baselines can start testing using the Policy API. In future releases, we plan to expand support for additional policies described in CISA’s Workspace baselines.  

Para empezar

Admins: You must be a super admin to use the Policy API. Use our Developer Documentation to learn more about the Policy APIUsuarios finales: No es necesario que los usuarios finales tomen medidas.
