Course Overview
Managing identity securely is central to any cloud strategy. This course introduces the essential principles of identity and access management (IAM) in Google Cloud, helping organisations control who can access what, when, and how. It establishes a strong foundation in identity governance and access control models.
Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, learners will configure identity federation, implement single sign-on (SSO), and synchronise directories using Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS). The course also explores privileged access management and compares Cloud Identity with Google Workspace to support informed architectural decisions.
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to implement secure identity frameworks, enforce access policies, and support compliance requirements. The course is aligned with Google Cloud identity fundamentals and modern zero-trust access principles.
