We approach security from a shared fate model, and we continuously work to proactively identify and mitigate potential threats before they can compromise your data and misuse your infrastructure. Understanding the risk: How bad actors attempt to exploit cloud workloads Hyperscale cloud platforms like Google Cloud offer massive compute capacity, high-speed networking, and cutting-edge AI engines, but these same core strengths also make us high-value targets for malicious actors seeking service disruption, financial gain, or exploit cloud resources. By tracking active adversary techniques, Google’s specialist security teams actively monitor and defend across several areas.
