Protecting organizations from cyber threats is crucial, especially with sensitive data and applications moving to the cloud. Traditional perimeter firewalls are no longer sufficient for securing dynamic cloud networks. Google Cloud has launched a Network Security Learning Path to address the growing demand for skilled cloud security professionals. This program culminates in the Designing Network Security in Google Cloud advanced skill badge. Completing this badge can significantly benefit career advancement, with many learners experiencing promotions and income increases. The learning path offers a solution-focused journey for networking, infrastructure, or security roles. It teaches how to design, build, and manage secure networks, validate proficiency in real-world scenarios, and earn the skill badge. Participants will learn to design secure VPC networks and GKE environments. They will also master Google Cloud Next Generation Firewall for precise traffic control. The path covers establishing secure connectivity with Cloud VPN and Cloud Interconnect. Enhancing defenses with Google Cloud Armor for WAF and DDoS protection is also included. Participants will learn granular network resource IAM and extend principles to hybrid and multicloud architectures. The learning path aims to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap by empowering individuals with next-generation network security skills.
