Protecting employees from Internet threats is tough enough when
they're at work, much less when they're on the road.
Off-network users are particularly vulnerable to web threats
because they must remember to connect via VPN for protection when
they're away from the office.

Today we're making Internet security easier for people,
wherever they may be working. Google Web Security for Enterprise,
powered by Postini, provides real-time malware protection and URL
filtering with policy enforcement and reporting. An additional
feature extends the same protections to users working remotely on
laptops in hotels, cafes, and even guest networks without requiring
any action on their part.

Search

Here at Google
Book Search we love books. To share this love of books (and the
tremendous amount of information we've accumulated about them),
today we've released a new href="http://code.google.com/more/" >API that
lets you link easily to any of our books. Web developers can use
the >Books Viewability API to quickly find out a
book's href="http://books.google.com/intl/en/googlebooks/screenshots.html"
>viewability on Google Book Search and, in an
automated fashion, embed a link to that book in Google Book Search
on their own sites.

As an example of the API in use, check out the href="http://catalog.dpls.lib.or.us/record=b1022758"
id="rx3l" >Deschutes Public Library in Oregon, which has added a
link to "Preview this book at Google" next to the
listings in their library catalog. This enables Deschutes readers
to preview a book immediately via Google Book Search so that they
can then make a better decision about whether they'd like to
buy the book, borrow it from a library or whether this book
wasn't really the book they were looking for.

We think this API will be useful to all sites that connect readers
with information about books, from href="http://nov9.scriblio.net/search/history?subj=20th century&open_sesame=1"
>library catalogs to href="http://catalog.dpls.lib.or.us/record=b1022758"
>public libraries to href="http://catalog.lib.utexas.edu:2082/search/X?SEARCH=Landscapes and Communities on the Pacific Rim&searchscope=28"
id="w4ew" >universities. To see more implementations in action,

Tonight I attended a social mixer co-hosted by Google and the href="http://www.nten.org/" >Nonprofit Technology
Network (NTEN), a nationwide membership organization of several
thousand nonprofit technology professionals who want to help
nonprofits use technology more effectively.

Not only did the event offer DJ Hey Man! — Darian Rodriguez
Heyman, Executive Director of the href="http://www.craigslistfoundation.org/" >Craigslist
Foundation — the opportunity to show off his skills as a DJ,
but it brought together nearly 150 members of nonprofits to hear
such speakers as Katrin Verclas of NTEN, and Ami Dar of href="http://www.idealist.org/" >Idealist.org, plus Camron
Assadi, Partnerships Officer for href="http://www.mercycorps.org/" >Mercy Corps, and Daniel
Heath, Network Administrator for the href="http://www.ebcrp.org/" >East Bay Community Recovery
Project, discuss ways in which nonprofits can take advantage of
the latest technology trends to support their programs, and their
href="http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/admins/customers.html#gov" >
experiences with Google Apps.

The gathering also gave us the chance to announce that we're
extending the Google Apps Education Edition to registered
nonprofits in the U.S. The idea for this program extension emerged
from conversations we had with local nonprofits. We realized that
the Education Edition of Google Apps, our hosted suite of
communication and collaboration tools — free for educational
institutions — fits well with the vital need among nonprofits for
easy-to-use, flexible technologies requiring little or no
investment. We hope such features as email migration, 24/7
assistance and integration APIs, in addition to the standard email,
calendaring and online document collaboration tools will enable
nonprofits to worry less about technology and focus more on
fulfilling their mission — in whatever field of advocacy, policy,
civil, social or environmental welfare (to name a few) they may
be.

We're always looking for ways in which the technologies we
develop can support education and action on the range of global and
local issues affecting our world. href="http://www.google.com/a/npo" >Find out more about Google

With more than 200 million downloads and counting, Google Earth is
known around the world. Less well-known is our href="http://earth.google.com/earth_enterprise.html"
>Google Earth Enterprise which
companies, organizations and government agencies use to view their
global data and imagery. Experts and amateurs alike use it for
everything from designing new buildings to exploring for energy to
responding to emergencies, because Google Earth Enterprise offers
access to geospatial info that was once limited to specialty
applications.

For instance, check out Dell's implementation showing a
geographic view of traffic to Dell.com:

Today, we're releasing the latest version, which makes it easy
to publish and view Google Earth datasets in 2D using a browser. By
accessing Google Earth Enterprise from a web browser, employees
across an organization will benefit from the rich geographic
tapestry. There's href="http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2007/07/newest-google-earth-enterprise.html" >
