No two Google Cloud environments are the same, and how you protect them isn’t either. In previous posts, we showed you how to use the Config Validator scanner in Forseti to look for violations in your GCP infrastructure by writing policy constraints and scanning for labels. These constraints are a good way for you to translate your security policies into code and can be configured to meet your granular requirements.
Biometrics is the technical term for body measurements and calculations, and human characteristics. Biometric authentication if a form of identification and access control.
