Security in Google Cloud

Embark on a comprehensive exploration of security in Google Cloud with this self-paced specialization. Through recorded lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on labs, participants will delve into the components of a secure Google Cloud solution. The course covers a wide array of topics, including Cloud Identity, GCP Resource Manager, Cloud IAM, VPC firewalls, Cloud Load balancing, Cloud CDN, Cloud Storage access control, Security Command Center, Stackdriver, Security Keys, Customer-Supplied Encryption Keys, the Google Data Loss Prevention API, and Cloud Armor. Participants will learn to manage administrative identities using Cloud Identity, implement IP traffic controls using VPC firewalls and Cloud Armor, and apply least privilege administrative access using Google Cloud Resource Manager and Cloud IAM. Moreover, the course also focuses on mitigating important types of vulnerabilities, particularly public access to data and VMs.

This specialization is composed of four modules that provide a deep dive into essential aspects of security in Google Cloud. The first module, "Google Cloud Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure," covers the basics of Google Cloud products and services, infrastructure organization and control, basic infrastructure creation, and Google Cloud storage options. The subsequent modules, "Managing Security in Google Cloud," "Security Best Practices in Google Cloud," and "Mitigating Security Vulnerabilities on Google Cloud," delve into advanced security concepts, techniques, and best practices to secure Compute Engine, cloud data, applications, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) resources, and more.
