Google`s Work Insights lets you know when employees are abusing company policies

Its investigation tool also provides enhanced protections against
Drive and Gmail threats
Google has unveiled two new tools to help businesses have more
visibility of how their employees collaborate and use applications.
Work Insights is a tool that offers businesses insights into how its G
Suite productivity group of apps is being used by employees, including
how they`re collaborating on projects. It will show stakeholders how
app adoption changes over time, helping IT admins understand which
applications people are using and when they start using them.
Work Insights will also help managers identify who may need extra
training on specific apps, for example, if they`re not using them in
line with company policies. This is especially useful when
understanding how well the business has evolved from using legacy
applications to the cloud.
`For example, an admin can quickly surface the percentage of users on
the Sales team that are working with the Marketing team to see
patterns, like if they’re working together in meetings or co-creating
documents,` Reena Nadkarni, group product manager of G Suite said.
`This insight can help executives identify opportunities to strengthen
collaboration and reduce siloes.`
Google also revealed an investigation tool as part of its security
centre suite of tools that adds integrated remediation to its
prevention and detection capabilities. It allows admins to identify
any suspicious activity happening on devices running G Suite �` for
example if Google Drive or email is being misused.
If this is the case, the new investigation tool will allow
administrators to remove access and delete malicious activities if
need be.
`The investigation tool, with its simple UI, makes it easier for
admins to identify threats without having to worry about analyzing
logs which can be time-consuming and require complex scripting,`
Nadkarni added. `Powerful remediation controls enable admins to take
action by scaling incident response across the entire domain with a
few clicks.`
Both features are somewhat similar to a set of features announced by
Box earlier in the year, including its new Activity Stream tool that
let users see what their colleagues are up to, and Box Shield, an
investigation tool that`s designed to prevent criminals or disgruntled
employees from stealing company data.
