Google Cloud Security Overview
Google News, Tuesday, July 9th, 2024
When you think about Cloud Security there are many areas of responsibility - securing infrastructure, network, data, applications, and managing identities and access. There are also ongoing processes for security operations and governance, risk & compliance management. But the best part of building your application on cloud is that you share the security responsibility with the cloud provider.
Cloud security requires collaboration and is usually operated on a shared responsibility model where the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the underlying cloud infrastructure and you are responsible for securing the applications you deploy on the cloud. This gives you the flexibility and control you need to implement the required security controls for your application and business. Depending on your use case you can restrict access to the sensitive data and projects or selectively deploy public applications.
At Google Cloud, we strive to go beyond the basics of this shared responsibility model to an operating model based on Shared Fate .
