Traditionally, businesses have looked to the public cloud to save costs, experiment with new technology, and provide growth capacity. Increasingly, businesses are also looking to the public cloud for their security, realizing that cloud providers can invest more than businesses can in technology, people, and processes to deliver a more secure infrastructure.
As a cloud innovator, Google understands security in the cloud. Our cloud services are designed to deliver better security than many on-premises approaches. We make security a priority in our operations—operations that serve billions of users across the world. Security drives our organizational structure, culture, training priorities, and hiring processes. It shapes the design of our data centers and the technology that they house. It’s central to our everyday operations and to disaster planning, including how we address threats. It’s prioritized in the way we handle customer data, our account controls, our compliance audits, and our certifications.
