Challenges of Google Cloud Security
To ensure that your workloads in Google Cloud Platform are secure, it’s vital to assess your environment regularly. Failure to follow Google’s Shared Responsibility Model and proactively identify cloud misconfigurations can easily lead to cloud breaches.
Google cloud misconfigurations that can lead to incidents include:
Misconfigured IAM policies Unrestricted access to resources Insecure data storage
How Picus Help You to Secure GCP
Picus Cloud Security Validation (CSV) helps you to stay on top of cloud security posture management by identifying the two primary causes of data breaches in Google cloud: cloud misconfigurations and overly permissive IAM policies.
Google cloud auditing
Picus CSV scans core GCP services to identify critical cloud misconfigurations attackers could exploit. These include excessive privileges, exposed resources, and cryptographic failures.
Google cloud attack simulation
By simulating privilege escalation scenarios, Picus CSV identifies overly permissive identity and access management (IAM) policies that could enable attackers to compromise GCP cloud services and steal data.
