* Use Google Shielded VM including secure boot Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) and integrity monitoring: Shielded VMs provide verifiable integrity of the VM by ensuring that it was not tampered with or compromised at the boot level. They use features like Secure Boot, vTPM, and integrity monitoring to detect and prevent malicious changes to the VM's operating system and firmware.
* Activate Confidential Computing: Confidential Computing provides a secure environment for processing sensitive data. It uses hardware-based enclaves to protect data in use by ensuring it cannot be accessed by the underlying host or any other unauthorized entity. By leveraging Intel SGX or AMD SEV, it ensures that data remains encrypted even when it is being processed.
* Enforce these actions by using organization policies: Organization policies can enforce the use of Shielded VMs and Confidential Computing across your organization. This ensures that all VMs comply with these security measures without requiring manual configuration for each VM.
