Google Cloud Armor documentation
Google Cloud Armor helps protect your infrastructure and applications from
Layer 3/Layer 4 network or protocol-based volumetric distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks,
volumetric Layer 7 attacks, and other targeted application attacks. It leverages Google's
global network and distributed infrastructure to detect and absorb attacks and filter traffic
through user-configurable security policies at the edge of Google's network, far upstream of your
workloads.
