Google designs all Titan C chips, and monitors the manufacturing process to ensure quality. These chips are then shipped to factories to be built into a Chrome device.

All firmware updates to these chips are pushed out by Google. When there’s a known compromise, you can rest easy knowing Google will push out a fix to all Chromebooks rapidly as soon as a solution is known.

Titan C chips are built into Chromebooks, available on devices across price points. They are always on and require no configuration to enable.

Titan C guards access to user data encryption keys. Even if a hacker had your password and hard drive, they wouldn’t be able to decrypt your data on a different device.

Titan C protects the device from brute force attacks so hackers can’t try millions of combinations of passwords or pin codes to attempt to log into the device.

Titan C enables two-factor authentication, that would require a power button press in addition to the password to log into the device.

Titan C assists with the Verified Boot process, which prevents malicious code from modifying Chrome OS.

Titan C ensures that many policies set with Chrome Enterprise, like the ability to prevent users from putting their device into developer mode, are enforced on managed Chromebooks.

Titan C can be leveraged by a third party developer to ensure that the device being used to access the application and it’s data hasn’t been compromised, through a feature called Verified Access.
