Emphasis is placed on the unique GCP approach to managing resources, with its clear distinction between resource ownership and resource billing. Following the defense in depth principle, the book shifts focus to network security and introduces different types of constructs that enable micro-segmentation, as they are implemented in a software-defined network. A chapter devoted to data protection is included. You will learn how to leverage the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) application programming interface (API) to prevent access to your workloads’ sensitive data from unauthorized use. Examples on how to use the DLP API are provided using the Go language, which is becoming widely adopted in the developer community due to its simplicity, and high-performance networking and multi-processing capabilities. Encryption at rest, in use, and in transit is covered with an overview on how GCP implements confidential computing. The book concludes with an examination of the GCP services you need to know to monitor, audit, and ensure compliance with the laws and regulations where your workloads and infrastructure operate. By the end of the book, you will have acquired the knowledge and confidence to pass the GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification exam and to successfully design, architect, and engineer security solutions with the Google Cloud Platform.
