What problem does it solve? Designing secure Google Cloud workloads requires navigating extensive security guidance across IAM, network security, data protection, and compliance. This Skill structures that evaluation by applying the Security pillar of the Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework to assess workloads and produce actionable recommendations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Security Assessment Questions: Provides structured discovery questions across seven principles including zero trust, shift-left security, and preemptive cyber defense. - Validation Checklist: Evaluates architectures against concrete criteria such as VPC Service Controls perimeters, Binary Authorization, and centralized security logging. - Product Mapping: Maps security requirements to Google Cloud products like Cloud Armor, Security Command Center, Cloud KMS, and Google SecOps. - Use Case: A cloud architect reviewing a new workload can use this Skill to identify gaps in identity controls, network segmentation, and data encryption, then receive recommendations aligned with Google Cloud best practices. ## Quick Start Evaluate the security posture of my Google Cloud workload and recommend improvements for IAM, network security, and data protection.
