## The brief

Google Cloud argues that browser activity should play a larger role in enterprise security as employees adopt AI tools. It describes Chrome Enterprise Premium capabilities for monitoring risky browsing, extensions and generative AI usage, alongside retaining evidence of data-loss policy violations. Google says feeding those signals into security operations platforms can support faster investigation and response.
