Our advancements in cybersecurity

Passkeys

With passkeys, you can skip your password for an easier and more secure sign-in experience, using your fingerprint, face scan or screen lock. Passkeys are an industry standard and work across all your devices and platforms.

Advanced Protection Programme

See how we're safeguarding high-visibility users such as journalists and government officials with sensitive information from targeted attacks.

IoT security

We are helping to advance the future of connected device security through our product developments, transparency criteria and industry partnerships.

Digital transformation of legacy infrastructure

We support organisations of every size as they migrate to the cloud and transform their security, changing the baseline of what good security looks like.

Threat detection and response

To help democratise threat and incident response, we share our expertise with organisations via our threat research, Google Cloud products and incident-response services to help combat cyberattacks.

Compliance and sovereignty

Google Cloud helps US federal agencies address Executive Order (EO) 14028 and other White House requirements, with solutions spanning zero trust, cybersecurity analytics and web asset protection.

Fighting harmful content

We prevent abuse and protect users, especially children, by detecting and removing unlawful and harmful content that violates our policies. We do this across categories of harm, including deceptive ads, disinformation, hate, scams and child safety.

Strengthening the cyber workforce

We're empowering the cyber workforce by sharing our expertise, expanding career pathways and forming strong industry and government partnerships to help launch more careers in cybersecurity – irrespective of experience or background – and build a safer world for all.

Threat analysis group

TAG works to counter targeted and government-backed hacking against Google and our users from the world's most sophisticated adversaries.

Open-source security

Open source allows for a more collaborative and innovative world. We regularly open source our tooling and frameworks to make software supply-chain security available to everyone.

Project Zero

This specialised task force hunts zero-day exploits across the Internet. From software to hardware, Google products and beyond, this team helps ensure that the Internet remains safe and open.

Mandiant Threat Intelligence

Mandiant brings real-time, in-depth threat intel gained on the front lines of cybersecurity with the world's largest organisations. Combined with Google Cloud security, we help enterprises and public sector agencies stay protected throughout the security life cycle.

VirusTotal

VirusTotal is the world's largest crowdsourced threat intelligence platform. VirusTotal's tools help security practitioners understand cybersecurity trends and the behaviour patterns of threat actors.

Secure AI Framework

Generative AI has immense potential, but clear industry standards and effective risk management are required to build and deploy it responsibly. That's why we introduced the Secure AI Framework (SAIF), a conceptual framework to secure AI systems.

AI-enabled secure products

Automatic security protections are built into our products to deliver safe experiences to all users. Machine learning helps Gmail block spam, phishing and malware from showing up in your inbox with over 99.9% accuracy.

Post-quantum cryptography

We develop cryptographic systems that safeguard against the breaking of public-key cryptosystems. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology has selected a submission with Google's involvement for standardisation.

Protected computing

We're committed to building products that are helpful and protect people's privacy. Protected Computing transforms how, when and where data is processed to technically ensure its privacy and safety.

Trusted hardware

Security keys use public-key cryptography to ensure the strongest account protection. Titan Security Keys are built with a hardware chip designed to prevent phishing and attacks aimed at extracting firmware and secret-key material.

Google Trust Services

GTS is a free-of-charge certificate authority built on Google's geographically distributed infrastructure that authenticates and encrypts connections. Google secures its own sites with GTS and now offers the same technology for all websites to use.
