Google Implements Security Measures: Restricting Employee Internet Access to Combat Cyberattacks

Google is launching a pilot program that restricts employee access to the Internet on their work desktops, except for internal web-based tools and Google-owned websites. The program aims to protect employees from cyberattacks, as they are frequent targets. Initially mandatory, Google is now allowing employees to opt out of the program after receiving feedback. While being banned from the entire Internet would be challenging, employees in the program will still have access to Google-owned websites, enabling them to perform essential tasks. The program aims to prevent phishing attacks, malicious code downloads, and data breaches.
