What Does the Titan Security Chip Comprise of? As of today, Google currently uses the Titan security chips to protect the servers running its own services like Google Search, Gmail, and YouTube.
When the chip was first unveiled back in March of this year, Google planned to use the processor to give each of its servers an individual identity. The chip is of the size of a small stud earring and has already been installed in many of the computer servers and network cards that populate Google’s massive data centers. The chip is a secure, low-power micro-controller created to ensure that systems always boot from the last known good state. Titan is a part of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) which is designed, built, and operated with the goal to protect customers’ code and data. Currently, the attackers do this mainly by exploring firmware vulnerabilities to overcome operating system defenses and installing rootkits that can persist even after the operating system has been reinstalled. In the simplest of words, Titan is a security chip that prevents the type of attacks where government spies intercept hardware and insert a firmware implant.
