▪ Editorial verdict

Google BeyondCorp Enterprise is the commercially productised version of the zero trust architecture Google originally built to secure its own global workforce. Browser-based access for Chrome and Workspace-centric organisations reduces the need for additional client software, and running workloads on Google Cloud adds further integration efficiency.

The honest positioning reflects Gartner's Challenger placement, and value narrows for organisations with primarily Microsoft infrastructure.

The verdict: right for Google Workspace and Chrome-centric organisations wanting ZTNA built on Google's own internally proven architecture. Organisations with primarily Microsoft infrastructure should evaluate Zscaler ZPA instead.
