New defenses against account hijacking for Google Workspace and Chrome: Google announces a security enhancement package that includes expanded support for passkeys, anti-cookie-theft measures, and security signal betas to detect and block impersonation attempts.
Expanded passkey support facilitates passwordless access and reduces phishing exposure, allowing sign-in with secure keys that reside on devices or on synchronized platforms. This technology strengthens authentication for Google Workspace users and administrators and in the Chrome browser, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access.
Cookie-theft protections prevent attackers from reusing valid sessions to hijack accounts. The new measures work at the browser and server level to detect suspicious patterns, invalidate compromised cookies, and require reauthentication when anomalous activity is detected.
Security signal betas introduce real-time contextual signals that improve fraud detection, such as device analysis, geolocation, and session behavior. These signals help apply adaptive actions, from additional authentication challenges to preventive blocks, improving the security posture of organizations using Google Workspace and Chrome.
The new defenses against account hijacking include more secure recovery flows, alerts for administrators, and automated response capabilities to mitigate mass attacks. Integrating these defenses into corporate environments reduces the exposure window and facilitates rapid incident containment.
