The FedRAMP authorization board has granted Google Cloud Platform and Google\u2019s underlying common infrastructure a provisional authority to operate (P-ATO) at the moderate impact level, enabling federal agencies to take advantage of the available services from multiple Google Cloud regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the authorization, Google announced new security features for its cloud, including VPC Service Controls that keep sensitive data private by giving admins more precise control over who can access Google Cloud resources; a Cloud Security Command Center to help users track and act on security intelligence; and Access Transparency to give users insights into actions taken by Google engineers and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
