Zero ransomware attacks, zero worries: The ChromeOS & Appspace security powerhouse

In the fast-paced world of digital workplaces, the security challenges keep multiplying. Ransomware, data breaches, and phishing attacks are constant threats. It’s time to move beyond reacting to threats and build a proactive, multi-layered security posture that leverages the strengths of both your endpoints and your centralized management platform.

The cloud-powered workplace: ChromeOS and Appspace

ChromeOS and Appspace together offer a comprehensive solution that not only protects your endpoints but also simplifies IT management and enhances the overall workplace experience.

Imagine a workplace where:

• Your digital signage displays critical information, keeping everyone informed and engaged, without the risk of being hijacked by ransomware.
• Your kiosks provide seamless self-service experiences, from wayfinding to room booking, all within a secure environment.
• Your employees can access corporate resources and collaborate effectively from any device, knowing their data is protected.

ChromeOS: The unbreakable cloud-first operating system

ChromeOS stands out as one of the most secure operating systems available. The stats speak for themselves: ZERO reported ransomware attacks on ChromeOS devices. This impressive track record is a testament to its security-centric design:

• Sandboxing: Each app and process operates in its own isolated container, like a mini-virtual machine. This limits the impact of any potential breach, preventing malware from spreading across the system.
• Verified boot: ChromeOS checks the integrity of the system at every startup. If any tampering is detected, it automatically reverts to a known good state, ensuring that only trusted software can run.
• Automatic updates: Security patches and updates are pushed seamlessly in the background, keeping your devices protected against the latest threats without disrupting user workflows.

“With ChromeOS and Appspace, businesses gain unparalleled endpoint security, efficient management, and reliable performance. This allows them to seamlessly deploy content that not only improves end user engagement, but also gives precious time back to IT teams.” says Mike Rumely, Partner Engineer for ChromeOS.

Appspace: Centralized control and enhanced visibility

Appspace complements the built-in, proactive security of ChromeOS with powerful centralized management and communication capabilities:

• Unified device management: Deploy, configure, and update Chrome devices (and other supported platforms) remotely. Enforce security policies, troubleshoot issues, and ensure all devices are running the latest software.
• Content management and distribution: Securely publish and distribute content across your digital signage network, kiosks, and employee devices. Keep sensitive information protected with granular access controls and encryption.
• Real-time monitoring and analytics: Gain insights into device health, content performance, and user engagement. Quickly identify and address potential security issues before they escalate.

The Synergy: A secure and engaging workplace

The combination of ChromeOS and Appspace delivers a holistic solution that goes beyond basic security:

• Unmatched security: The built-in security of ChromeOS provides a robust first line of defense against malware and other threats.
• Centralized control and visibility: Appspace empowers IT to manage and monitor the entire environment, ensuring security policies are enforced and vulnerabilities are addressed proactively.
• Seamless Google Workspace integration: Connect your digital signage, kiosks, and employee devices with Google Meet, Calendar, and other Workspace apps for a streamlined and productive experience.
• Enhanced employee engagement: Deliver targeted communications, interactive wayfinding, and convenient room booking solutions to create a modern and connected workplace.

“ChromeOS is one of our longest-standing hardware partners. When we transitioned to a modern HTML5 app platform, ChromeOS was our go-to choice. Its easy deployment and reliability were key factors in our decision,” says Will White, Director of Techincal Workplace Experience at Appspace.
