What is Google Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy?
Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy (Cloud IAP) provides a secure and centralized access control layer for applications deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It enables organizations to manage user access to cloud-hosted applications through an application-level access control model, rather than relying solely on network-level firewalls. This solution helps ensure that only authorized users can access critical applications, regardless of their network location. Cloud IAP integrates with Google Cloud Identity, allowing organizations to leverage their existing user authentication and authorization infrastructure. This approach enhances security by enforcing access policies at the application level, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and improving overall application security posture
