Forseti Security is open source security tool built for Google Cloud Platform. It can keep track of your environment, monitor your policies and even enforce in the future. The install is pretty simple since it’s contained within a Deployment Manager template. Deployment Manager automates infrastructure deployments of Google Cloud Platform resources. I’m going to highlight some of the notes from the official Forseti documentation in this post for completeness.

Being able to secure your cloud resources at scale is important for all Google Cloud Platform users. To help ensure the security of GCP resources, you need to have the right tools and processes in place. Spotify and Google Cloud worked together to develop innovative security tools that help organizations protect GCP projects, and have made them available in an open source community called Forseti Security. Forseti is now open to all GCP users!
