Set Chrome Enterprise connector policies for Chrome Enterprise Premium

Chrome Enterprise Premium threat and data protection features are available only for customers who have purchased Chrome Enterprise Premium.

As an admin, you can use the Google Admin console to check for sensitive data or help protect your Chrome users from content that contains malware. You can also prevent certain files from being sent for analysis. You can then allow or block uploads and downloads for those unscanned files.
