The theft of personal information or identity theft has resulted in major technology companies taking exceptional measures to prevent hackers and employees from penetrating cybercriminals who want to obtain all possible information from the company and its users.
One action taken by Google to prevent and combat this threat is that its 85,000 workers have had security keys since 2007, preventing problems such as e-hunting.
Security keys used by company employees consist of special design and specifications that go beyond the risk of plagiarism and make the antivirus program the only one facing any cyberspace risk.
Through this device will authenticate the logins by people, where it will always be necessary to obtain the key in the physical form to do so, so there will be a third party can access personal accounts unless provided with this key.
The Titan key is built so that no one else can copy it or fake it with the special firmware created by the same company, so you do not have to worry about that aspect, although the fear is that someone else can steal it from you, If there is a button that needs to be clicked each time you want to identify yourself, the person who wants to access the accounts is checked, so if it is not already registered, you will not be allowed access.
With regard to the cost of these devices, Christian Brand, director of identity and security products at Google G, commented that it would be accessible so that everyone could get it, saying:
"We are not very happy that these devices are out of reach of customers who can not afford them.We think that at some point, these keys may be in the range of less than $ 10."
In order to be able to use this tool, it will be necessary to accept the application or device that you have security keys, as do Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Windows, MacOS and others.
