Security in Google Cloud Badge

Program Summary

Google Cloud skill badges are credentials that recognize your proven cloud competencies. They provide access to real-world, hands-on experience that helps you hone your skills as cloud technology continues to advance. Complete these 4 Google Cloud skill badges and earn your Security in Google Cloud partner badge from NYU*. First you will learn how to create and manage cloud resources using Cloud Shell and deploy virtual machines in Compute Engine. Next you’ll learn about the fundamental features of cloud security, about multiple networking-related resources to build, scale, and secure applications on Google Cloud, and about security at scale on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
