Opening Keynote
Sunil Potti, VP & GM of Security at Google Cloud, kicked off the week with a keynote on how to achieve operational security with operational simplicity. With the increase in remote work, untrusted home networks, and 10x the number of online transactions, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in more complexity when it comes to security. As a result, businesses have reprioritized their security initiatives and accelerated their use of cloud-based services. To help businesses adjust to this new normal, Google Cloud offers a robust set of capabilities that simplify operations and enable compliance, trust, and security with minimal effort.
Cloud Security Command Center (Cloud SCC), Google Cloud’s native security posture management system, prevents and detects abuse of cloud resources, centralizes security findings from GCP and partner services, and detects common misconfigurations that can lead to breaches. Google Cloud has added a variety of new capabilities to SCC Premium which can:
- Spot threats using Google intelligence
- Surface more misconfigurations
- Perform automated compliance scanning and reporting
Two new products have been introduced that give businesses powerful new capabilities while keeping deployment and management simple:
- Assured Workloads: A set of controls for customers in regulated industries that enable you to configure and deploy sensitive workloads according to security and compliance in just a few clicks.
- Confidential VMs: Game-changing technology that offers the ability to encrypt data in use (i.e., while it’s being processed)
With the shift to remote work, more people are connecting from untrusted home networks to do their jobs. Google Cloud has developed solutions to help minimize the risks associated with this new normal. “What we’ve done at Google Cloud is to bring the power of cloud to where you are so that you can modernize security in place,” said Potti. BeyondCorp Remote Access, for example, enables your workforce to access internal web apps hosted in the cloud or on-premises through Google Cloud’s planet-scale SaaS solution. It’s based on the same zero-trust principles and insights the company has gained from implementing BeyondCorp internally and has been “battle-tested” in production by thousands of enterprise customers.
