Google Cloud's Security Strategy: Emphasizing 'Secure by Design' and 'Secure by Default'

Google focuses on equipping customers with the necessary tools and services to secure their environments across various platforms.

 

As artificial intelligence takes center stage, organizations are grappling with new considerations regarding the appropriate security measures and their evolution. For Google LLC and Google Cloud, ensuring security across the organization involves a combination of central teams providing consistent infrastructure and tooling. 

This approach aligns with the company's philosophy of being "secure by design" and "secure by default" for both infrastructure and products. According to Phil Venables, the Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer of Google Cloud, the company has specialized security engineering teams embedded within different product areas, such as the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

During an interview at the Supercloud 3 event, Venables discussed the importance of making security intrinsic to products and reducing software supply chain risks. The main challenge highlighted by Chief Information Security Officers today is the lack of cybersecurity talent.

Venables emphasized that Google aims to alleviate this challenge by adopting a secure by design and secure by default approach, aiming to assist customers in securing their environments without adding to their burdens.

The company also embraces the shared fate model, extending its responsibility to provide better defaults, guidance, and guardrails to customers, regardless of whether they use Google Cloud or other platforms like Azure or AWS. 

Google focuses on equipping customers with the necessary tools and services to secure their environments across various platforms, including Chronicle, VirusTotal, and other products. 

Additionally, Google actively contributes to open-source and standards communities, emphasizing security improvements to benefit not only the cloud but the entire IT infrastructure. This commitment to security not only builds trust in technology and cloud services but also helps manage risks effectively.
