Chrome Enterprise brings more protections to healthcare technologies

Chrome Enterprise Premium now secures AI agents and web-based clinical applications used by healthcare teams, addressing risks as electronic health records and AI tools move into the browser. The platform enforces centralized controls over data access and permissions, ensuring security teams can govern clinician and AI agent activities within managed sessions. This includes support for multi-vendor AI strategies, allowing healthcare organizations to use tools like Gemini alongside other web-based AI services without compromising data protections.

To broaden deployment options, Chrome Enterprise is now compatible with IGEL OS and will be available in the IGEL Marketplace, enabling healthcare IT teams to manage the browser across shared workstations, nursing stations, and clinical carts. The collaboration integrates Google’s browser security with IGEL’s immutable endpoint platform, reducing attack surfaces and simplifying IT governance through tools like the IGEL App Portal and Google Admin console.

Healthcare systems using Citrix UniconOS endpoints can now run Chrome Enterprise natively, providing clinicians with a consistent experience while IT gains additional secure access controls. The expansion with Omnissa integrates zero-trust security and device posture checks for Workspace ONE and Horizon environments, verifying device health before granting access to critical applications.

New capabilities include silent printing and PDF updates for Epic Hyperspace, allowing clinicians to print orders and wristbands directly to authorized printers while keeping protected health information isolated. These updates aim to support modern clinical workflows without sacrificing security, giving IT teams confidence to adopt AI and web-based tools while maintaining governance and data loss prevention.
