Securing Google Cloud Platform

<p><span>Cloud platforms like Google Cloud are essential for delivering scalable and reliable systems, but with increased speed comes greater security risk. As threats grow more complex, securing cloud-native workloads has become a vital skill for developers, engineers, and security teams alike.</span></p><p></p><p><span>This book provides a hands-on guide to securing real-world workloads on Google Cloud Platform. You will learn to build least-privilege IAM policies, protect sensitive data with encryption and DLP, design secure networks using VPC and Cloud Armor, automate security in CI/CD pipelines, and enforce policies in Kubernetes clusters. The book also covers hybrid/multi-cloud security with Anthos, zero trust architectures with BeyondCorp, and Google-native threat detection using SCC and Chronicle. Each chapter blends practical implementation with architectural best practices.</span></p><p></p><p><span>By the end of the book, you will be equipped to secure production systems on Google Cloud with confidence. Whether you are deploying new projects or strengthening an existing security posture, you will gain patterns, tools, and a mindset to design resilient, scalable, and compliant cloud environments.</span></p><p></p><p><strong>WHAT YOU WILL LEARN</strong></p><p><span>● </span><span>Design secure IAM and access control on GCP.</span></p><p><span>● </span><span>Encrypt sensitive data using KMS and Cloud DLP.</span></p><p><span>● </span><span>Automate DevSecOps workflows in CI/CD pipelines.</span></p><p><span>● </span><span>Secure containers and Kubernetes using GKE controls.</span></p><p><span>● </span><span>Detect and respond to threats using SCC and Chronicle.</span></p><p><span>● </span><span>Build zero trust access with BeyondCorp Enterprise.</span></p><p><span>● </span><span>Manage hybrid/multi-cloud security using Anthos.</span></p><p><span>● </span><span>Align architectures with compliance and audit frameworks.</span></p><p></p><p><strong>WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR</strong></p><p><span>This book is for security engineers, cloud architects, and DevOps teams who possess a foundational understanding of cloud computing principles. Readers should have basic familiarity with Google Cloud services to effectively apply the security concepts and patterns discussed.</span></p><p></p>
