What problem does it solve? Teams building on Google Cloud often lack a structured way to evaluate whether their architecture meets security best practices across IAM, network security, data protection, and operations, leading to gaps discovered only after incidents or audits. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Security Assessment Guidance: Applies the seven core principles of the Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework security pillar, including zero trust, shift-left security, and preemptive cyber defense. - Workload Assessment Questions: Provides structured question sets to uncover security requirements and constraints for a workload and organization. - Validation Checklist: Offers a concrete checklist to verify architecture alignment with security recommendations, covering areas like VPC Service Controls, Binary Authorization, and AI model governance. - Use Case: An architect designing a new Cloud Run application can use this Skill to evaluate the design against zero trust and shift-left principles, then receive actionable recommendations involving IAP, Cloud Armor, and Cloud Build. ## Quick Start Evaluate my Google Cloud workload architecture against the Well-Architected Framework security pillar and recommend improvements for IAM and network security.
