If you're transferring $600k, use a hardware wallet, not a web wallet.

Trezor's hardware wallet is operated via web wallet through Trezor Bridge.

The transaction is set up on the web wallet, the hardware wallet shows you the details on it's own screen, and you can sign on the hardware wallet.

I just bought a small amount of crypto on Coinbase to toe the waters (think double-digits worth). Still, if I wanted optimal security, what would I do to keep my crypto safe?

If you're transferring that much, you should use a broker service probably.

For "transferring $600k" - I was assuming the "$" indicated USD.
