Module Overview

1. Module Overview

In this module, we cover security. Google has been operating securely in the cloud for 20 years. There's a strong belief that security empowers innovation. The approach of the cloud architect should be that security should be put first. Everything else will follow from this. In this module, you will learn how to design secure systems using industry best practices. For example, when designing a secure system, you will learn how to apply the principle of least privilege and the practice of separation of concerns. Performing regular audits is also a key part of running a secure system. Leveraging Google's Security Command Center can help to identify vulnerabilities as part of your process. Also when securing systems, governance is a major consideration. You will learn how organization policies and folders can simplify governance. Preventing access to unwanted visitors is always a challenge. Authentication and authorization is one approach and can be implemented in many different ways. You will learn how best to use IAM roles, Identity-Aware proxy and Identity Platform. You'll also learn to manage the access and authorization of resources by machines and processes using service accounts. At a lower level of access control, you will learn how to secure network access using private IP's, firewalls, and Google Cloud private access. Last but not least, you'll learn how to mitigate DDoS attacks by leveraging Cloud DNS and Google Cloud Armor. As you see there is a lot to security. Let's get started.
