So, what functions does the Google Advanced
Protection Program perform?

• Numerous security functionalities are encompassed
  within the Advanced Protection framework. These
  functionalities play a crucial role in
  safeguarding against phishing, enhancing account
  security, ensuring secure web browsing, and
  fortifying app permission security. The following
  provides a concise overview of each security
  category.

Phishing protection

• Phishing constitutes a form of online deception
  wherein fraudulent emails, falsely claiming a
  specific origin, are sent. Typically, the
  objective is to obtain sensitive data such as
  passwords or banking details. Ever dismissed an
  email solicitation from a purportedly distressed
  prince seeking financial assistance? Thats a
  classic example of phishing.
• Gmail offers excellent screening and blocking
  features to prevent phishing emails. Be vigilant
  for alerts on questionable emails in your inbox.
  Advanced Protection enhances security by
  mandating a security key during Google account
  sign-ins, thereby increasing the difficulty for
  malicious actors to exploit your login details.

Web browsing

• Google Chromes Safe Browsing serves as a prime
  illustration of Googles commitment to enhancing
  the safety of web browsing. This functionality,
  accessible without the need for Advanced
  Protection, enhances security by identifying and
  preventing downloads from potentially hazardous
  websites.
• The enhanced iteration of this functionality by
  Advanced Protection ensures a more comprehensive
  approach. It conducts rigorous examinations prior
  to each download, promptly alerting you about
  potentially harmful files. Given the relentless
  nature of hackers, having additional safeguards
  during web browsing is reassuring. Moreover, only
  app downloads from accredited stores, such as the
  Play Store, and your device manufacturers app
  store are permitted.

Personal data security

• Storing sensitive personal information in your
  Google account and on Google Drive is a
  widespread practice. It is essential to exercise
  caution when granting access to this information.
  When signing up for new apps or services, it is
  common for them to request access to specific
  data in your Google account. While this is
  generally acceptable, its crucial to be aware
  that attackers may impersonate legitimate third
  parties to gain unauthorized access.
• To enhance security, Advanced Protection
  exclusively permits Google apps and verified
  third-party apps to access your Google account
  data, and this can only occur with your explicit
  permission.

  with additional security measures. The setup
  process for Advanced Protection will be guided

• Built-in security keys are a standard feature on
  both Android phones and iPhones. Google provides
  a guide on utilizing the built-in security key on
  your Android device. In the case of iOS,
  installing the Google Smart Lock app is
  necessary. Its worth noting that Smart Lock is
  already integrated into Android, as Google is the
  developer of the Android operating system.
• You also have the option to buy individual
  security keys designed to plug into your device.
  Ensure that they adhere to FIDO standards. The
  prices for these keys typically range from 20 to

  and phone number linked for two-step verification

Ending Words

• Advanced Protection goes beyond standard 2-Step
  Verification to safeguard users from advanced
  phishing threats. Alongside a password, access to
  your Google Account mandates a physical security
  key, the built-in security key on Android 7.0
  devices, or an iPhone running iOS 10.0 with the
  Google Smart Lock app. This added layer of
  security extends to thwarting fraudulent access
  by implementing extra verification measures
  during the account recovery process.
