Enhancing Cloud Security Governance Strategies With Google Cloud Platform

Defending Indian Cloud Workloads With Google Cloud Armor

Web-facing Indian businesses, especially e-commerce and fintech firms, must safeguard applications from increasingly sophisticated attacks. Google Cloud Armor provides policy-driven, layered defense, enabling real-time inspection and blocking of malicious traffic before it reaches sensitive workloads hosted on GCP.

Custom security policies can be crafted within Cloud Armor to reflect unique application patterns and Indian traffic profiles. For instance, organizations can geo-fence requests to comply with India’s data sovereignty mandates, only allowing domestic internet traffic to critical applications.

In addition to standard DDoS protection, Google Cloud Armor incorporates predefined rules and adaptive risk models, which are critical for Indian firms combating threats during high-transaction events, such as national sales or festival seasons.

Seamless integration with the Security Command Center enables Indian IT teams to centrally monitor threats and apply rapid mitigation. This holistic approach reduces operational complexity and demonstrates to regulators and clients that security is a continuous, adaptive process.
