Filling the Bloody Gaps in Google Workspace Security

Right, listen up you caffeine-powered keyboard warriors. The article drones on about how everyone’s flinging around files in Google Workspace like confetti at a clown’s wedding, and somehow, *shock horror*, security goes to shit when no one bothers to lock things down properly. It’s like giving the intern root access and wondering why the server just belched flames.

Apparently, there are “common gaps” (no kidding) in how organizations use Google Workspace — configuration cock-ups, people oversharing crap they shouldn’t, and a distinct lack of visibility because everyone assumes “cloud” means “someone else’s problem.” You’ve got admins asleep at the wheel while sensitive documents fly around public links faster than a cat meme. Meanwhile, hackers are rubbing their greasy hands together because you’ve practically gift-wrapped the data for them.

The article then suggests some allegedly sensible shit: tighten up your access controls, actually pay attention to sharing settings, review those damned admin privileges, and haul your lazy assess into using proper DLP and monitoring tools. Oh, and maybe read the bloody audit logs once in a while instead of pretending they’re someone else’s department. Google’s tools can do a lot — if you stop treating them like a digital dump bin for every file since 2014.

End result? The same old story: human error, zero oversight, and a blind faith that “the cloud” is some magic box that never leaks. Guess what, sunshine — it does, and it’ll be your name on the incident report when the shit hits the fan.

Reminds me of the time some genius left the admin panel exposed to the world with “password123” as the login. The only gap we filled that day was between their ears — with pure rage.
