Description
Shielded VMs are fortified virtual machines on Google Cloud that incorporate a range of security measures designed to safeguard against rootkits and bootkits. By utilizing Shielded VMs, enterprises can shield their workloads from various threats, including remote intrusions, privilege escalations, and harmful insider actions. These VMs utilize sophisticated security features such as secure and measured boot processes, a virtual trusted platform module (vTPM), UEFI firmware, and continuous integrity monitoring. With just a few simple clicks, users can activate Shielded VMs, providing protection against sophisticated threats from malicious insiders, compromised guest firmware, and both kernel and user-mode vulnerabilities. This streamlined process makes it easier than ever to enhance the security posture of cloud-based workloads.
Description
Project Shield, developed by Google Cloud and Jigsaw and utilizing Google Cloud Armor, offers complimentary and limitless defense against DDoS attacks, which are malicious attempts to disrupt access to online information by overwhelming websites. It employs Google's robust infrastructure and advanced DDoS mitigation tools to filter out harmful traffic effectively. When a DDoS attack targets your website, the service ensures that our servers intercept and block the unwanted traffic, allowing your site to remain operational. Additionally, Project Shield can be set up to retrieve content from your website’s servers and serve a cached version to users during future requests, significantly reducing the load on your servers and enhancing resilience against potential DDoS threats. By caching content, the service not only fortifies DDoS defenses but also boosts website performance and conserves bandwidth, which is beneficial for all types of sites. Furthermore, users have the flexibility to invalidate cached content to meet specific site requirements. Enhanced security features within Project Shield include controls like JavaScript cookies and IP denylists to provide a higher level of protection for websites, ensuring a more secure browsing experience for visitors. Ultimately, this combination of features positions Project Shield as a powerful ally for any online presence seeking to maintain accessibility and integrity amidst cyber threats.
