Protecting credentials has become increasingly critical in recent years, with everyday employees using more passwords, devices, and systems than ever before. Remote work has significantly increased the risk of identity attacks. 55% of remote workers say they receive more phishing emails than they used to while working in the office and attempted password attacks are up tenfold. In 2023, Microsoft detected 156,000 business email compromise (BEC) attacks every day over twelve months.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is one of the world’s most widely used cloud services. At the heart of this system lies roles, which act as predefined sets of permissions that grant users specific access levels amidst the complexity of credentials, identities, and resources in the cloud environment.

As the number of applications and participants grows within your cluster, it may be necessary to evaluate and limit the activities they can perform. For instance, you may consider restricting access to production to only a select few individuals. Alternatively, you may opt to provide a limited range of permissions to an operator deployed within the cluster.
