Welcome to the Networking in Google Cloud: Routing and Addressing course.

Course Introduction

Welcome to Networking in Google Cloud

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Protection. Distributed Denial of Service Attacks are a major concern today and can have a huge impact on businesses if the business is not adequately prepared. In this module we will begin with a quick discussion on how DDoS attacks work and then review some DDoS mitigation techniques that are provided by Google Cloud.  We will finish up with a review of complementary partner products and a lab where you will get a chance to see some DDoS mitigations in action.

Welcome to the fourth course of the "Networking in Google Cloud" series: Network Security! In this course, you'll dive into the services for safeguarding your Google Cloud network infrastructure. The first module, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Protection, covers how to fortify your network against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, ensuring uninterrupted availability of your services. In the second module, Controlling Access to VPC Networks, you'll learn the network access control, enabling you to define permissions for who can access your resources and how. Finally, in the third module, Advanced Security Monitoring and Analysis, we'll explore how to proactively detect and respond to potential threats, keeping your Google Cloud environment secure and resilient. By the end of this course, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of Google Cloud network security.

<h2>Secure Your Google Cloud Network</h2>A well-designed network still needs strong defenses. This fourth course in the Networking in Google Cloud series focuses on the services Google Cloud provides to protect your network infrastructure from attacks and misuse.<br><br><h2>Defend Against DDoS Attacks and Control Access</h2>You’ll start with distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection, learning how Google Cloud mitigates these attacks and how to use Google Cloud Armor to block unwanted traffic. You’ll then configure VPC firewall rules to control exactly which traffic can reach your resources.<br><br><h2>Detect Threats and Inspect Traffic</h2>The course moves on to proactive monitoring. You’ll deploy Cloud IDS and tune it to your security requirements, use Packet Mirroring to inspect and analyze network traffic, and review network security best practices. By the end, you’ll have a solid understanding of Google Cloud network security and be able to detect and respond to threats before they cause damage.
