The latest development comes just after it was reported that the use of physical security keys helped over 85,000 Google employees prevent phishing attacks for over a year. The Titan Security Key is initially available to Google Cloud customers, though it will also go on sale for the masses through the Google Store in the coming future. It takes on the offerings by Yubico that are already protecting the experience on Gmail and other web services.

The new Titan Security Key includes a secure element that features firmware developed by Google to verify the physical key’s integrity. The software on the security keys is developed by Google’s engineers, and the company has been testing it internally since early 2017. An early version of the Titan Security Key is instrumental in preventing Google employees getting phished for so many years.
