Security News > 2021 > July > Google Enhances Protections in Cloud Armor Web Security Service

Google announced recently that it has expanded the capabilities of Cloud Armor, a service that provides distributed denial of service protections and a web application firewall to keep customers safe from web attacks.

Generally available since 2019, Cloud Armor leverages the same infrastructure and technology that Google uses to protect its own internet-facing properties.

To expand the service's capabilities, Google introduced Cloud Armor Adaptive Protection, which leverages machine learning to fend off Layer 7 DDoS attacks.

Now in preview, the new functionality is available to all Cloud Armor customers, Google says.

The Internet giant announced the general availability of a set of four new preconfigured WAF rules, along with a reference architecture, as well as a preview of new Cloud Armor protection for content delivered from Cloud CDN or Google Cloud Storage backend buckets.

Alerts generated by Adaptive Protection, the company explains, are sent to the Cloud Armor dashboard, Cloud Logging, and Security Command Center.
