Google tightens cloud security for Apps users

Google has released a new tool that allows administrators at firms using Google Apps to remotely reset cookies to ensure that sensitive data cannot be accessed if a device is lost or stolen.

Google Apps software engineer Will Smith said in a blog post that the feature offers improved cloud security for organizations concerned that more information is being stored in the cloud than ever before.

The ability to access your data from virtually anywhere enables higher productivity but, like traditional systems that don't run in the cloud, security concerns can arise if a user loses a computer or mobile device that can access sensitive information," he said.
