What allows Google Workspace Admins to receive alerts about potential security issues?

The Alert Center is a centralized location within Google Workspace that provides administrators with real-time alerts and notifications regarding potential security issues, policy violations, and important account activities. This tool is crucial for proactive security management, as it enables admins to quickly identify and respond to incidents that could affect their organization's data and user accounts.

The alerts generated by the Alert Center can include information about unusual login attempts, phishing threats, unauthorized access attempts, and other suspicious activities. By leveraging these alerts, administrators can take appropriate actions to mitigate risks and safeguard their organization’s resources.

In contrast, backup notifications relate to the status of backups rather than security alerts, user audit trails focus on user activity without generating security alerts, and cloud monitoring tools generally provide operational metrics rather than specific security incident alerts.
