MAKING THE WORLD’S INFORMATION SAFELY ACCESSIBLE.

SAFETY FIRST


KEEPING OVER FIVE BILLION DEVICES SAFER.

Google Safe Browsing helps protect over five billion devices every day by
showing warnings to users when they attempt to navigate to dangerous sites or
download dangerous files. Safe Browsing also notifies webmasters when their
websites are compromised by malicious actors and helps them diagnose and resolve
the problem so that their visitors stay safer. Safe Browsing protections work
across Google products and power safer browsing experiences across the Internet.

Our Transparency Report includes details on the threats that Safe Browsing
identifies. The Transparency Report includes our Site Status diagnostic tool
that you can use to see whether a site currently contains content that Safe
Browsing has determined to be dangerous.

BEGINNINGS


A HISTORY OF SAFETY

Safe Browsing launched in 2005 to protect users across the web from phishing
attacks, and has evolved to give users tools to help protect themselves from
web-based threats like malware, unwanted software, and social engineering across
desktop and mobile platforms.

Our Safe Browsing engineering, product, and operations teams work at the
forefront of security research and technology to build systems that help users
protect themselves from harm. Check out our Research and the Google Security
Blog for updates on Safe Browsing and other Google security technology.



INCREASED PROTECTION


ENHANCED SAFE BROWSING

Users who require or want a more advanced level of security while browsing the
web can enable Enhanced Safe Browsing.

Users who set up Enhanced Safe Browsing for their Google Account or Chrome
browser will get the highest level of protection. We are always working to add
new protections; some of the protections that are available now are listed
below.

On Google Chrome, Enhanced Safe Browsing users will benefit from the following
additional protections:

 * Real-time checks against lists of known phishing and malware sites
 * The option to request Google to perform deeper scans of files they’ve
   downloaded to check for malware and viruses
 * Protection against previously unknown attacks when navigating to sites
 * Tailored protections based on your risk level



Across other Google products, Enhanced Safe Browsing users will benefit from
additional protections:

 * Strengthened protections in GMail including additional checks on attachments
   and web links
 * Tailored protection if an attack is detected on the account



By choosing Enhanced Safe Browsing, users will share additional security-related
information in order to improve their online protection. This data is used only
for security purposes and deleted after a short period of time. By sharing
additional information about potential risky events, Chrome enables Safe
Browsing to improve its ability to detect malicious content online, to better
protect users all over the web.

POLICIES

Safe Browsing gives users the ability to protect themselves from multiple types
of unsafe sites and applications. Our policies help define the types of web
threats about which Safe Browsing will notify users and webmasters.


MALWARE

Since 2006, Safe Browsing has warned users when they attempt to navigate to
sites that might be malicious. Malware is software specifically designed to harm
a device, the software it's running, or its users.

Learn more


UNWANTED SOFTWARE

In 2014, we added protection against a broad category of harmful technology that
we now call “Unwanted Software”: for example, programs disguised as helpful
downloads that actually make unexpected changes to your computer like switching
your homepage or other browser settings to ones you don’t want.

Learn more


SOCIAL ENGINEERING

Since 2005, Safe Browsing has protected users across the web from Social
Engineering attacks. A Social Engineering attack tricks users into performing an
action that they normally would not if they knew the true identity of the
attacker. A common example is Phishing, where a page tries to steal a user's
password or other personal data.
