  • Michele Chubirka, Senior Cloud Security Advocate, Google Cloud

Topics:

  • So, if somebody wakes you up at 3AM (“Anton’s 3AM test”) and asks “Do we need firewalls in the cloud?” what would you say?
  • Firewalls (=virtual appliances in the cloud or routing cloud traffic through physical firewalls) vs firewalling (=controlling network access) in the cloud, do they match the cloud-native realities?
  • How do you implement trust boundaries for access control with cloud-native options?
  • Can you imagine a modern cloud native security architecture that includes a firewall?
  • Can you imagine a modern cloud native security architecture that excludes any firewalling?
  • Firewall, NIDS, NIPS, NGFW …. How do these other concepts map to the cloud? How do you build a "traditional-like" network visibility layer in the cloud (and do we need to)?
