Security Management in Google Cloud

Securing cloud infrastructure requires a solid understanding of identity, resource hierarchy, and network boundaries. Without proper controls, cloud environments remain vulnerable to unauthorized access and misconfigurations. This course provides a clear, step-by-step pathway to understanding and implementing essential security controls. You will progress from foundational security concepts to managing complex access policies and secure network configurations, preparing you to protect cloud resources effectively. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational cloud security principles, including zero-trust architecture and shared responsibility models. - Configure Cloud Identity and Resource Manager to establish a secure organizational hierarchy. - Manage access control policies using Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and service accounts. - Secure virtual networks using Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) firewalls and secure peering. - Implement VPC Service Controls to establish security perimeters around sensitive data. - Configure Cloud Load Balancing to protect applications from external threats. You will start by mastering key security terminology and organizational structures before moving into practical configurations for access management and network defense. This course is designed for IT professionals, system administrators, and aspiring cloud security engineers who are new to Google Cloud security and want to build a strong foundation.
