Securing GCP Services - Best Practices & Implementations Step by Step
What you'll learn
Best Practices for Google Cloud Security
Understand the Shared Responsibility Model in Google Cloud and how to divide security responsibilities between Google and the customer.
Identify and use key GCP security services such as Cloud IAM, Cloud KMS, Cloud Audit Logs, and VPC Service Controls to protect infrastructure and data.
Apply core security foundations across Identity, Network, Data, and Operations within the GCP environment.
Implement least privilege access, zero trust architecture, and defense-in-depth strategies for securing cloud workloads.
Configure and enforce IAM policies to prevent access from personal accounts and limit access to only approved users and groups.
Set up and manage Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and enforce security key usage for privileged admin accounts.
Disable risky practices like project-wide SSH keys, IP forwarding, and serial port access on VM instances.
Safeguard service account usage by avoiding default and user-managed keys, limiting their scope, and implementing custom roles with least privileges.
Rotate KMS encryption keys automatically and secure data stored in Cloud Storage by enabling uniform bucket-level access and preventing public access.
Configure VPC Flow Logs for network traffic monitoring and detect anomalous behavior across subnets.
Use Cloud Audit Logging to capture administrative and data access activities, and set up log sinks and retention policies for compliance.
Enforce HTTPS on App Engine, require SSL connections to Cloud SQL, and restrict public IP access to GCP services.
Set up automated backups for Cloud SQL instances and ensure BigQuery datasets are never unintentionally shared publicly.
Gain hands-on experience with CLI and Console-based implementation steps for all best practices covered.
Build a secure, compliant, and scalable Google Cloud environment aligned with global security and privacy standards like ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and CIS Benchmarks.
