Google is leveraging a CSRB report criticizing Microsoft's security practices to advocate for Google Workspace as a safer option, highlighting a new Secure Alternative Program with special pricing and support for transitioning from Exchange Online, while emphasizing Workspace's cloud-native architecture and modern threat readiness. The CSRB report pointed out security failures at Microsoft, prompting organizational changes, with Google aiming to seize this opportunity by promoting Workspace as a solution with a smaller attack surface and less maintenance compared to Microsoft's offerings, although market penetration may be challenging due to Microsoft's established presence and Google's own security concerns, despite claims of AI-based defenses and reduced attack surface. ```
