Security Foundation: Your Cloud Journey to Least Privilege - From Zero to Secure

The shift to cloud environments, particularly Google Cloud, introduces unprecedented agility and scalability, but also complex challenges in maintaining robust security and compliance. This session dives deep into the critical aspect of governance, addressing how organizations can establish and enforce effective controls to mitigate risks and ensure alignment with business objectives and regulatory mandates. We will move beyond theoretical concepts to explore practical, technical implementations within Google Cloud, empowering security professionals to design, implement, and maintain a secure and compliant cloud posture. What you will learn: > Understand the key components of a comprehensive access governance framework on Google Cloud, including defining policies, roles, and responsibilities, and leveraging cloud-first controls for policy enforcement. > Explore practical techniques for implementing access such as Identity and Access Management (IAM) best practices (e.g., least privilege, security keys, service accounts), Organization Policies, and Security Command Center for continuous monitoring and audit. > Discover how to leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with tools like Terraform, automated policy enforcement, and security orchestration to streamline governance workflows and reduce manual effort in your Google Cloud environment. Join us to gain actionable insights and technical expertise to master governance in your Google Cloud security journey and build a resilient and compliant cloud architecture.
