Welcome to this month's Arcade Simulator where you will step into the shoes of a Network Security Engineer. In this simulation, you'll first lock down access control across your infrastructure—crafting custom IAM roles, scripting permissions, and setting up Identity-Aware Proxy to secure user authentication without traditional VPNs. Then, you'll take control of hybrid enterprise topology, using Network Connectivity Center to link multi-cloud networks, VPCs, and site-to-site HA-VPNs. Complete with two realistic challenge labs, this simulation equips you to eliminate access blind spots, secure cross-cloud traffic, and build a fortress-grade network on Google Cloud.
