This guide explains how organizations can secure Google Cloud environments as attacks accelerate and cloud complexity grows. It outlines key challenges such as misconfigurations, identity sprawl, software supply chain risk, and short attack windows, then frames cloud security around a unified CNAPP approach that combines vulnerability management, posture management, permissions analysis, and cloud detection and response. The guide contrasts shift-left and shield-right practices and emphasizes runtime insights to reduce noise and prioritize in-use risk. It also covers container, Kubernetes, serverless, and AI workload security, highlighting real-time detection, attack-path analysis, and faster response as essential to staying secure while scaling innovation on Google Cloud.
