# What’s New, What’s Next: CloudM Automate & Protect in 2027

## You have the data. Now see what to do with it.

*Live webinar · Thursday, 19 November 2026 · 15:00 GMT · 45 minutes*

Automate & Protect has changed a lot this year. We’ve rebuilt it on a faster, cleaner interface, launched Drive Management, and laid the groundwork for the biggest step forward in the product’s history.

Join us for a fast-paced look at what’s new and what’s coming next. We’ll spend most of the time on the roadmap and what it means for you and your Google Workspace.

## What you’ll learn

### What’s new: a faster interface and a view of every file

See the rebuilt Automate & Protect, and get a quick tour of Drive Management. See every file and shared drive, query across your whole estate, act in bulk, and track who did what and when.

### What’s next: from “what do we have?” to “what should we do about it?”

Automate & Protect is becoming the intelligence and control layer for your Google Workspace. It will show you what matters, recommend the next step, and help you act on it. You’ll get an early look at:

- **Licensing lens.** Spot licences you’re paying for but not using, e.g. on suspended accounts, and act on them.
- **External sharing visibility.** See every file and drive shared outside your organisation, and revoke access directly.
- **Security checks that show who’s exposed.** Measure your settings against the CISA SCuBA baseline for Google Workspace and see exactly which people, mailboxes and drives each gap affects.
- **Ask Automate from your AI assistant.** Get answers about your people and Workspace straight from CloudM, from reporting lines to upcoming leavers.

### Where it leads

Get a glimpse of what’s further down the line, including usage and adoption insights, compliance tracking and Gemini.

## Who should attend

This webinar is for current CloudM Automate & Protect customers. It’s useful for both the IT admins who work in the product every day and the IT managers who want to know where it’s heading.

## Meet your presenters

Emma Webster, Product Manager for CloudM Automate, will walk you through the roadmap.
