Modernizing perimeter security: Scalable perimeters with VPC Service Controls
Agents represent a fundamental shift in cloud operations. They can act on behalf of users or autonomously, make non-deterministic decisions, and request data across projects at unprecedented speed and scale. Because agents are a distinct category of non-human identity (NHI), they require unique secure-by-default guardrails. Traditional, manually-operated network perimeters are vulnerable to today’s machine-speed attacks. Overly permissive perimeters, built to avoid blocked connections, increase the risk of unauthorized data theft, but overly strict perimeters stall development under a flood of access denials. Today, we're excited to announce key enhancements to VPC Service Controls (VPC-SC) that make perimeters easier to create, [...]
