How do I set up protection from malicious websites in my Chromebook user settings?

Chromebooks are generally known to be immune against most malware and therefore good at protecting kids from malicious websites. However, to ensure extra security for students, it is recommended that you enable safe browsing settings in Google Workspace. As they are user-level settings, they not only protect users on Chromebooks but also on Chrome browsers when the user logs in to a different device. Furthermore, malicious sites can also include phishing or other sites that involve platform-independent vulnerabilities that target the user directly – e.g. Identity theft, financial theft, password theft, etc.  

To enable safe browsing:

1. Log in to your Google Workspace account at admin.google.com
2. Navigates to Devices  > Chrome > Settings 
3. Scroll down to Chrome Safe Browsing.
4. Select the "Always enable Safe Browsing" option from the dropdown list for the Safe Browsing field.
