Google Cloud Armor
1. Google Cloud Armor
Next, let's discuss the benefit of using Google Cloud Armor with Cloud CDN. Google Cloud Armor and Cloud CDN work in tandem to provide a secure and optimized web experience. Imagine Google Cloud Armor as your application's security guard. It inspects incoming traffic, filters out malicious requests like DDoS attacks and web exploits, and safeguards your backend servers from harm. This protection ensures your application stays up and running, even under attack. Meanwhile, Cloud CDN stores copies of your website's content, images, videos, etc, around the globe. When a user accesses your website, Cloud CDN delivers the content from the location closest to them. This significantly speeds up page load times, providing a seamless experience for your users while also reducing the strain on your primary servers. To protect CDN origin servers, you can use Google Cloud Armor with Cloud CDN. Google Cloud Armor protects your CDN origin server from application attacks, mitigates OWASP top ten risks, and enforces layer 7 filtering policies. There are two types of security policy that affect how Google Cloud Armor works with Cloud CDN, Edge security policies and backend security policies. Use Edge security policies to filter requests before content is served from cache. Use Google Cloud Armor backend security policies to protect requests routed to the backend service. Next, you will explore a lab covering how to use Google Cloud Armor to defend Edge cache.2. Let's practice!
