Secure Google Ads browsing

Secure Google Ads browsing means protecting marketing accounts from phishing, session theft, and risky ad-link exposure—because ad accounts are high-value targets.

Quick answer

Legba can isolate browser sessions while your team uses Google Ads.

Marketing tools see frequent account‑takeover attempts (ads, auth prompts, shared access). Isolation helps reduce exposure from untrusted links used alongside Google Ads.

This page does not imply an official integration with Google Ads—it’s a guide to securing browser workflows around the app.

When you need this

Your team uses Google Ads in a browser every day.
You want to reduce phishing, malicious downloads, and session theft without slowing users down.
You need role-based policies for employees, admins, and contractors.
