Master Google Cloud Security with Hands-On Code and Visual Learning. Prepare for the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification with a practical, code-driven approach. Unlike other study guides, this book equips you with tested gcloud and Golang code, allowing you to apply security concepts directly. If you're serious about securing Google Cloud environments and passing the certification exam, this book is your ultimate study companion.  100% Coverage of Exam Objectives:  Every domain is thoroughly explained with clear, concise insights. - Hands-On Experience with a GitHub Repo: Clone   ready-to-use scripts and security configurations. No more labs with the console that you will never use at work! - Visual Learning : 369 Diagrams and infographics make complex security concepts easy to grasp. - Trusted by Successful Exam Candidates:  Many readers have passed using this book, as seen in the Amazon reviews! - Bonus Material : New Generally Available services (IAM Deny Policies) are included so you will be fully prepared when the exam is refreshed with a new beta version.  Written in a simple, and developer-focused style, this book will give you the tools and the knowledge you need to ace the GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification exam. The approach is two-fold: introducing and implementing all GCP cloud security concepts and controls based on the certification exam objectives, and demonstrating how these concepts can be applied to real-world scenarios. Your study begins by introducing the concept of cloud identities in GCP, with a focus on the different identity types (user accounts, service accounts, groups, and domains) and how separation of duties is implemented with access controls and Identity and Access Management (IAM).  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 then shifts focus to network security and introduces the different types of constructs that enable micro-segmentation, as they are implemented in a software-defined network. As a natural progression to your security study with GCP, a chapter fully 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 as well with a brief overview of 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 the confidence to pass the GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification, and most importantly to successfully design, architect, and engineer security solutions with the Google Cloud Platform. What You Will Learn The five security principles and how they can be used to drive the development of modern security architectures in Google Cloud How to secure identities with Cloud Identity and Identity & Access Management (IAM) - How to secure the network with segmentation and private connectivity - How to protect sensitive data with the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) API and encryption - How to monitor, log, audit, and troubleshoot security incidents with the Google Cloud Operations Suite - How to ensure compliance and address regulatory concerns Bonus Material : IAM Deny Policies , BigQuery Dynamic Data Masking , and Binary Authorization .  - Detailed Coverage : Includes all objectives from the official exam guide and more. - Code Samples : Fully tested and available on a GitHub Repo. - 369 color images : Featuring Infographics, Architectures, and real-life examples of Sensitive Data Protection and many more.
