Security is an essential element of any cloud service. Everyone wants to know that their information will be safe. You can use Google Cloud Armor to protect your systems from web-based attacks. It can help mitigate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and prevent common exploits like cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection (SQLi). Cloud Armor gives you enterprise-grade defense, whether your application is deployed on Google Cloud, on-premises, or in a multi-cloud architecture. This course explores Google's Cloud Armor service.
