6 Critical Google Workspace Security Rules You Should Enable.

If you’re managing Google Workspace, it’s important to know that many default security rules are set to "inactive". This leaves your school exposed to potential threats that could be prevented with just a few simple changes.

By enabling these critical alerts, you can catch threats early and strengthen your school's cybersecurity posture.

Google Workspace Security Rules

• Admin Privilege Revoked/Granted: Stay on top of changes to admin access to prevent unauthorized control.
• Suspended User Made Active: Monitor reactivations of suspended accounts that might signal compromised access.
• Rate-Limited Recipient: Detect unusually high email volumes, which can indicate a malicious attack.
• Email/Drive/Calendar Settings Changed: Get notified of changes that may weaken your security setup.
• Apps Outage Alert: Stay informed about Google service disruptions to ensure smooth operations.
