  1. Challenge

    Inspect Cloud Storage data for sensitive information

    Use Google Cloud Sensitive Data Protection to inspect data stored in a Cloud Storage bucket. You will configure predefined infoTypes to detect sensitive information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, street addresses, and credit card numbers, then review the inspection results to identify the sensitive data found.

  2. Challenge

    Configure customer-managed encryption for Cloud Storage

    Configure customer-managed encryption for Cloud Storage using Cloud KMS. You will create a key ring and symmetric encryption key, grant the Cloud Storage service agent permission to use the key, configure the bucket to use the key by default, and migrate existing data to the customer-managed key. Finally, you will verify that the existing object is protected using CMEK.
