Google this week announced expansions to the Advanced Protection Program, with the addition of Google Nest and support for more types of security keys for iOS users.
Over the years, Google rolled out Advanced Protection Program features for many of its services, including GSuite, Google Cloud Platform, Chrome and, most recently, Android, and this week made it available for Google Nest as well, providing its users with an additional layer of security.
"Now people can seamlessly use their Google Accounts with both Advanced Protection and Google Nest devices - previously, a user could use their Google Account on only one of these at a time," Google announced.
The new capability, the company says, allows the owners of iOS devices to use more types of security keys for Google Account and the Advanced Protection Program.
"We highly recommend users at a higher risk of targeted attacks to get security keys and enroll into the Advanced Protection Program. If you're working for political committees in the United States, you may be eligible to request free Titan Security Keys through the Defending Digital Campaigns to get help enrolling into Advanced Protection," Google notes.
