Google Cloud endpoint security
Google Cloud offers a variety of security features and best practices to help protect Google Cloud endpoints including GCE VMs, GCS, and VPC networks.
GCE VM security
VMs run on GCE, which has security measures designed to secure the underlying infrastructure, protect VM data, and minimize potential vulnerabilities. Key aspects of Google Cloud VM security include the following:
- Firewall rules: These allow you to control inbound and outbound network traffic to VM instances. Configuring firewall rules can limit access to specific IP addresses, ports, and protocols, thereby reducing the VM attack surface.
- Service accounts: VM instances can use service accounts to authenticate and access other GCP services securely.
- Secure boot: This is a technology that helps ensure the integrity of the boot process by verifying that the VM boot firmware and OS have not been tampered with.
- OS patch management: This is crucial for security. Google...
