Google Adds to its Cloud Security Offering

Today, Google has announced more than 20 enhancements to its Cloud Security environment, with the aim to give more control to businesses operating in the Cloud. These announcements follow security announcements for Chrome Enterprise, which the company made last week. These enhancements include: VPC Service Controls, which Google considers to be the first to deliver virtual security perimeters for API-based services with simplicity, speed and flexibility, Cloud Security Command Center, currently in alpha, and more comprehensive cloud auditing tools. VPC Service Controls help enterprises keep their sensitive data private while using Google Cloud Platform’s fully managed storage and data processing capabilities. Google believes this product will give admins a greater level of control to prevent data exfiltration from cloud services as a result of breaches or insider threats.
