Trust, Security, and Scaling Operations
Google Cloud’s security model and shared responsibility, plus cost management, billing, and support for running at scale.
Security on Google Cloud follows the shared responsibility model (Google secures the infrastructure; you secure your data, identities, and configuration) and defense in depth. Identity and access use Cloud IAM for least-privilege roles.
Data is encrypted at rest and in transit by default. Additional controls include Cloud Key Management, VPC Service Controls, Security Command Center (posture and threat visibility), and BeyondCorp (Google’s Zero Trust access model). Compliance certifications support regulated workloads.
