Safe Browsing must be enabled.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Allows you to control whether Google Chrome's Safe Browsing feature is enabled and the mode it operates in. If this policy is set to 'NoProtection' (value 0), Safe Browsing is never active. If this policy is set to 'StandardProtection' (value 1, which is the default), Safe Browsing is always active in the standard mode. If this policy is set to 'EnhancedProtection' (value 2), Safe Browsing is always active in the enhanced mode, which provides better security, but requires sharing more browsing information with Google.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
