GCP Incident Response: Blueprint
RCCE students will learn Google Cloud Platform security including IAM configuration, VPC security, Cloud Armor, Security Command Center, Cloud Audit Logs, BigQuery security, and GKE cluster security. RCCE students will learn to secure GCP workloads using native security services, configure IAM roles and permissions following least privilege, design secure VPC architectures with firewall rules and shared VPCs, enable and analyze Cloud Audit Logs for security monitoring, detect misconfigurations using Security Command Center, protect web applications with Cloud Armor, secure GKE clusters, and implement automated security remediation using Cloud Functions. This incident response course prepares students to act decisively during security incidents with structured workflows and clear decision frameworks. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn containment, evidence collection, eradication, and recovery procedures specific to this domain. Students practice incident scenarios that build the composure, coordination, and documentation skills essential for effective incident handling.
