I work as a Cloud Security Architect at Google. This means that I blend security expertise, sales knowledge, and consultative skills to help companies establish and demonstrate cloud security. In my job, I help when a customer has a security objective to fulfill but doesn’t exactly know how to do so in the cloud; for example, they need to log activities and configure alerts so they’re notified of suspicious actions. In this case, I guide them step-by-step to ensure they’re logging the correct activities, configuring their alerts correctly, and ensuring that Google Cloud security recommendations are applied.
