The shield of Google Workspace security is purple

20/11/2025

Our mission at Florbs has always been simple: protect the way people work in Google Workspace without slowing them down. Collaboration should be fast and safe. But as attackers grow sharper and workplaces grow more complex, keeping visibility and control starts to become increasingly difficult.

When we first set out, our focus was clear. ONE overlooked access policy. ONE forgotten shared folder. ONE ex-employee still logged in months after they left the company. It’s the small cracks that cause the biggest risks. Florbs was built to be the shield that makes risks visible and keeps control firmly in your hands.

That hasn’t changed. What’s changing now is how we show up as a brand.

Purple by design: The mindset that drives Florbs

In cybersecurity, red teams simulate attacks and blue teams defend. Purple teaming stands between the two: to test, reveal, and strengthen defenses before real threats strike. That same principle is at the core of Florbs. For years, we have been the shield that stands between attackers and your Workspace, between risky access and oversight, between seamless collaboration and uncompromising protection.

And over this past year, we’ve sharpened our intuitive platform and refined our messaging by listening closely to IT leaders and security teams. What we heard is clear: Google Workspace is powerful, but without visibility and control, exposures pile up fast. And for us, protecting Google Workspace isn’t about adding more complexity. It’s about gaining the visibility and control to stop risks before they spread. THAT is what sits at the heart of our identity.

"For most companies, the biggest threat lies in the blind spots inside; that’s exactly how attackers penetrate from the outside. We built Florbs to shield teams from those hidden exposures so Workspace stays open for work but closed to threats," says CTO and Google Developer Expert, Niek Waarbroek.

Purple isn't just our color. It's our mindset. Just like purple teaming, Florbs exists to be that trusted security partner that fits right into the way modern companies work. That's why purple is at the heart of our brand. It reminds us, and everyone we work with, that the best protection comes from always-on security that never gets in the way. And now, that matters more than ever. 

The Reality modern teams face every day

Work is faster, files are bigger, and apps connect in ways most teams don’t even realize. Every day, links are shared beyond the people who should see them. Employees connect apps to Workspace with a single click. Ex-employees still hold their Workspace licenses and have access to files long after they left.

These aren’t theoretical risks. These are security oversights that can cost you everything. And without full control and visibility, no team can defend against these exposures. Without them, even the best processes fall short. Florbs gives both, so your company can keep moving fast without leaving doors wide open.

"Google Workspace was built for collaboration, where sharing is the default behavior. Connectivity happens with a single click. That creates thousands of access points and permissions that most IT teams can easily lose sight of as the company grows. So the question is, how can you secure what you can't see?" Florbs founder 2

What’s next for your Google Workspace Security

Most companies are operating completely blind to what's actually happening across their Workspace environment. They think they know who has access to what, but reality tells a different story. Sensitive files shared with external emails. Third-party apps with sweeping permissions connected months ago and forgotten. Departing employees who still appear as 'active users' weeks after their goodbye lunch. The exposure grows daily, but the visibility doesn't.

So, when you're evaluating Workspace security, you're not just choosing another app. You're choosing that protective layer that will stand between your collaboration and the chaos.

Florbs isn't just another Google Workspace security tool. We're the comprehensive shield that provides modern companies with complete visibility and control over their Google Workspace, without the headaches or hefty overhead costs. Because in a world where collaboration happens at the speed of a single click, your security needs to be just as fast and just as seamless.
