Google Launches Latest Version of Titan Security Key

Recently, Google announced the launch of the latest version of the Titan security key at the Cyber Security Summit in New York (USA).

Google's Titan Security Key comes in USB-A ($30) and USB-C ($35) versions. Both versions feature near-field communication (NFC), allowing for quick pairing with mobile devices.

Hardware security keys are a highly effective and independent security solution in today's complex cybersecurity landscape.

Google's Titan Security Keys are capable of storing more than 250 public-private encryption pairs, and these new products are currently rated as the best among FIDO2-compliant online passwordless security keys in the world.

Google has hired two independent testing companies, NCC Group and Ninja Labs, to evaluate and ensure the security of the new security key.

Google also said it will give away 100,000 new Titan security keys for free to individuals and organizations at high risk of cyberattacks around the world by 2024.

The effort is part of Google's “Advanced Protection Program,” which gives vulnerable users extended account monitoring and protection from online threats.

Security keys offer unique protection because they are standalone, separate devices. However, they still need to be secured to ensure that weaknesses are not exploited.

Any security method has its vulnerabilities. In 2019, Google had to recall and replace its Titan BLE security keys due to a vulnerability in the Bluetooth connection process.
