🔍 About GCP Security

Google Cloud Platform security requires a comprehensive approach that addresses infrastructure security, application security, data protection, identity management, and compliance.

Key Security Considerations

  • Shared Responsibility Model: Understanding what Google secures and what you are responsible for
  • Identity & Access Management: Implementing least privilege and secure IAM practices
  • Network Security: Designing secure VPC architectures and implementing proper network controls
  • Data Protection: Encrypting data at rest and in transit, managing secrets securely
  • Compute Security: Hardening VMs, containers, and serverless functions
  • Monitoring & Detection: Implementing robust logging, monitoring, and alerting
  • Incident Response: Planning for and practicing response to cloud security incidents
  • Compliance: Meeting regulatory requirements in cloud environments

Getting Started

This section is organized into several key areas of GCP security:

  1. Identity & Access Management: Managing identities, roles, permissions, and authentication
  2. Network Security: Securing VPC networks, firewalls, and connectivity
  3. Compute Security: Securing VMs, containers, Kubernetes, and serverless
  4. Storage & Database Security: Protecting data in various storage services
  5. Logging & Monitoring: Implementing effective security monitoring
  6. Security Command Center: Utilizing GCP's security management platform
  7. DevSecOps: Integrating security into CI/CD pipelines
  8. Compliance & Governance: Maintaining regulatory compliance in GCP
