As organizations move their data and applications to the cloud, they must address a rapidly evolving landscape of security challenges. This course explores the foundations of cloud security, the value of Google Cloud’s secure-by-design infrastructure, and the defense-in-depth strategy, while highlighting how AI-driven operations and compliance tools help organizations meet strict global regulatory requirements.
