Networking in Google Cloud: Network Security

Secure Your Google Cloud Network

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.

Defend Against DDoS Attacks and Control Access

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.

Detect Threats and Inspect Traffic

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.
