Secure to the core
Stay safe with unmatched security. Google designed the Titan C2 security chip11 to protect your Chromebook from viruses, keep hackers at bay and prevent phishing attacks.

Share your laptop, not your life
Chromebooks can support multiple users while maintaining each person's privacy. Guest mode lets you share your Chromebook without sharing your login.
Secure from the start
Every time your Chromebook starts up, it goes through Verified Boot – a rigorous and seamless security checkup in the background that prevents malware.
Layers of protection
ChromeOS keeps software on your Chromebook separated with Sandboxing. So even if one part gets infected, the rest will stay safe.
