In this lab, you will build a secure network architecture using Google Cloud Armor and Next Generation Firewall (NGFW). You'll create and configure policies to protect your applications against web threats, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). This involves setting up WAF rules, enabling adaptive protections, and applying firewall policies to control access and egress at the VPC level. You'll also implement rate limiting and bot control strategies. The lab is structured to simulate a real-world scenario where you're tasked with enhancing the existing network security of a company, ensuring robust application protection and network traffic control.
A financial services company is expanding its digital services and requires enhanced network security to protect sensitive customer data. The company must deploy robust network protection that can mitigate web-based attacks and control traffic to its cloud-based applications. The goal is to implement Layer 7 protection with Google Cloud Armor and integrate it with Cloud NGFW for comprehensive security management, ensuring compliance with industry standards while achieving performance efficiency.
