Email that
keeps your private information safe.

Gmail works hard to protect you from spam, phishing, and malware, before they reach your inbox. Our AI-enhanced spam-filtering capabilities block nearly 10 million spam emails every minute.

Phishing protections

Many malware and phishing attacks start with an email. Gmail blocks more than 99.9% of spam, phishing attempts, and malware from reaching you.

Safe Browsing

Safe Browsing protects you by identifying dangerous links in email messages and warns you before you visit the site.

Proactive alerts

Gmail warns you before you download an attachment that could put your security at risk.

Account safety

We protect your account against suspicious logins and unauthorized activity by monitoring multiple security signals. We also offer the Advanced Protection Program for accounts most at risk of targeted attacks.

Confidential mode

You can make your messages expire after a set period of time and remove the option for recipients to forward, copy, download, or print your message from Gmail.

Email encryption

In Google infrastructure, messages are encrypted at rest and while in transit between data centers. Messages transiting to third-party providers are encrypted with Transport Layer Security when possible or required by configuration.

2 Step Authentication

You can add an extra layer to your Gmail account by setting up 2 step authentication by logging into your Google Account and selecting “2-Step Verification”. This will add an extra security step during log in that would consist of: receiving verification codes on secure devices or using security keys.
