Admins can now deploy Context-Aware Access for NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus

Google is introducing Context-Aware Access (CAA) policies for NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus, allowing admins to set up different access levels based on user identity and request context. This feature provides granular access controls without the need for a VPN and helps enforce organizational policies. Admins can specify CAA policies when users access NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus, which is now available as a Google Workspace core service with enterprise-grade data protection. This change impacts both admins and end users. Admins can visit the Help Center to learn more about protecting their business with CAA and how to turn the service on or off. End users can visit the Help Center to learn more about NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus. The rollout is available now for Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. Context-Aware Access is available for certain Google Workspace editions, including Enterprise Standard and Plus, Education Standard and Plus, Enterprise Essentials Plus, Frontline Standard, and Cloud Identity Premium. The feature helps provide an additional layer of security and control for Google Workspace resources. Admins can use CAA to set up access levels based on factors such as location, device security status, and IP address. Overall, this update enhances the security and management of Google Workspace resources.
