Since launching Google Workspace in October 2020, we’ve delivered hundreds of new features to fuel secure collaboration from anywhere, including more than 300 in 2022 alone.

- Built-in, AI-powered data and threat protection capabilities, including automated classification and Trust Rules in Drive, and phishing and malware protections in Calendar and Drive.
