Course Description
Reduce Risk Across Your Cloud Infrastructure
Attacks can strike at many points in a cloud environment, so your defenses need to cover them all. This course builds on earlier security courses in the series and shows you how to use Google Cloud’s security tools to lower the risk of attacks on your systems, software, and data.Defend Against DDoS and Content-Related Threats
You’ll learn how distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks work and how to counter them with load balancing, Cloud CDN, autoscaling, firewall rules, and Google Cloud Armor, including rate limiting and bot management. You’ll also tackle content-related threats such as ransomware and data misuse, using backups, IAM, and Sensitive Data Protection to redact sensitive information.Monitor, Log, Audit, and Scan
Finally, you’ll use Security Command Center, Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, and Cloud Audit Logs to gain visibility into your environment and spot suspicious activity. By the end, you’ll be able to manage DDoS protection, address content-related vulnerabilities, and run a monitoring and auditing setup that keeps your Google Cloud resources secure.Prerequisites

Protecting against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks (DDoS)
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.
