Google offers several tools and safeguards to protect its users’ data and privacy. One of those tools is the Advanced Protection Program, which Google began rolling out last year to protect users from attacks on your Google Account. The program is designed to protect high-risk users, such as government and finance executives, journalists, politicians, and others, from targeted attacks.
What is Google's Advanced Protection Program?
In the following article, you can learn more about Google's Advanced Protection Program and why you need it to protect your account from breaches.
Advanced Protection Program is Google's way of protecting users' personal accounts that may be at risk of targeted attacks. The feature goes a step beyond traditional 2-step verification by letting users sign in to their Google Account using a physical key, your Android device, or an iPhone with the Google Smart Lock app.
The enhanced security features that come with the Advanced Protection Program can protect your account from phishing, account hacking, and limit access to your data by third-party sites and apps. The feature also blocks hackers from accessing your account by preventing them from impersonating you.
