Gmail account with coro complete for cyber security

/ Documentation / By

A Gmail account is not inherently “cybersecurity-proof”, but Google does provide strong built-in security features. To make it more secure—and better meet cybersecurity or cyber insurance standards—you can use third-party add-ons and best practices.

Built-in Gmail Security Features (Strong by Default)

  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) / Google Authenticator / Push via Google Prompt.
  • AI-Powered Spam & Phishing Detection (blocks 99.9% of phishing emails).
  • TLS Encryption between mail servers.
  • Security Checkup (https://myaccount.google.com/security-checkup) to review account activity.
  • Suspicious Activity Alerts for logins from new devices or locations.
