We've had a series of phishing campaigns where Google Drive files (of note, usually .docx files) are shared directly with a subset of our users. These messages are delivered legitimately using the organic Google Drive share process with a sender of d...
Hey all.I've seen headlines on the built-in DLP setting previously and even dabbled a bit in the pre-made templates. But I recently was looking to add some additional safety/security into our environment. I thought I was going to find what I wanted ...

In Gmail Compliance & Spam settings you can exclude certain addresses from the spam filter.In my opinion, it's a good idea to do so for the official sender addresses from Google services, so they always reach their recipients. Google, of course, make...
You have probably received this in your email.The upcoming change in how Drive handles permissions should not negatively impact your consciious work to restrict users' access to individual content./Kim***Dear Google Workspace for Education administra...

Great to be with Richard and Steve in the Auckland office today.Thanks for the learnings and great hospitality. I learned about Vault, and set it up to save indefinitely, so an attack (Ransom etc.) won't be as bad as it might be for our data.CheersCr...

With the ever evolving phishing campaigns that go around, I was wondering what (if anything) admins are doing to combat the "Item shared with you:" emails that users get. Clearly you can't revoke the access. You could use an internet filter to bloc...
Has anyone else encountered this issue? A number of our teachers added images and videos to their slides and docs. In the place of the video or the image there is an exlamation point. We tried clearing the cache and history, accessing the slide or do...

Greetings all,I managed to catch a email sent to many of my staff early but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove shared docs from users Drives in Google Admin. I believe I've correctly deleted the original emails from affected users v...
We're finally getting around to turning off third party apps in our GW. We're starting with restricting Drive (already completed). We have ~50 trusted apps so they retained access to Drive (we're higher ed btw). My understanding is that once we restr...
So we got notice that our storage was at 10% available. So I looked and appears that an @gmail.com address was able to create a Shared Drive within our GW, and upload 4TB of Vietnamese movies... I'm currently investigating to see if/who at our Organi...
I read in the K12sysadmin group on Reddit that uBlock Origin is going away. I implemented it a while back when several of you recommended it for K12 security. Now that it may be going away, what alternatives would this group suggest?

I'm having a hard time finding a "correct" way to tackle this: We use DLP for various things here in Google Workspace, and I'll get notifications from time to time related to this. The thing is, if I get notification it's saying who the file owner/s...
