Why customers trust Google Apps with their business data(8)

8. Protecting your data with encrypted connections Google Apps allows you to be productive anywhere. For example, you may want to check your email or work on a document in a coffee shop, airport or hotel using a public wireless network. Google Apps protects your data in these situations by establishing an encrypted connection while you work. Without it, an unauthorized person could potentially hijack your session and gain access to your account. Using an Internet standard known as HTTPS, we encrypt your data as it travels from your browser to our servers. This makes it much harder for an imposter to access your account this way. We’ve supported encrypted connections from the day Google Apps launched over five years ago, and we made it the default setting for all users at the beginning of 2010.  -------------------- 1. Powerful administration tools give you control of your data 2. Pure and proven cloud architecture 3. A different approach to patch management 4. Strong authentication to protect business user accounts 5. Disaster recovery - built right in to Google Apps 6. New apps status dashboard improves visibility 7. Google Apps data protections - verified by third parties 8. Protecting your data with encrypted connections 9. Google’s information security team - working to protect your data 10. Google Apps helps reduce the risk of data breaches
