Introducing new session management tools with native, granular controls
Google Cloud has transitioned its session controls into a granular feature of Context-Aware Access to help mitigate credential theft and account takeover risks.
Why it matters
This allows administrators to enforce stricter security for high-privilege accounts and specific apps without interrupting general developer workflows.
The big picture
This update expands the use of REST APIs for DevSecOps workflows, a relationship identified in previous coverage.
The details
Controls can now be targeted to specific applications, such as the Google Cloud Console and OAuth apps. Management is available in preview via the Google Cloud Console, whereas it was previously limited to the Google Workspace administrator console.
What's next
Users can now use the session controls documentation to configure policies using Terraform, REST API, and gCloud.
