Guest: 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?
