By designing and operating its own data centers with custom servers and network hardware, what key customer benefit does Google gain that strengthens its defense-in-depth security model?
Google can apply consistent, built-in security controls at every hardware and software layer, minimizing the overall attack surface.
All workloads automatically receive a 100 percent uptime guarantee, eliminating the need for service-level objectives.
Data encryption is no longer necessary because hardware-level protection alone keeps information secure.
Customers are able to remotely flash their own firmware onto Google servers for complete customization.
Because Google designs its own hardware and tightly controls the supply chain, it can integrate security features such as secure-boot firmware, custom security chips, and hardened operating systems from the ground up. This end-to-end control allows Google to apply uniform security controls across every layer of the stack and to rapidly patch or replace components when new threats arise, which greatly reduces the overall attack surface. The other options are incorrect: customers cannot install their own firmware on Google hardware; no provider can guarantee 100 percent uptime for all workloads; and encryption is still required even with strong hardware security.
