Zero-Trust Web Access — Google Cloud Architecture Template
Identity-aware, WAF-protected access to an internal web app where every request is authenticated and authorized before reaching compute.
Why this architecture works
- Identity-based access at the edge replaces network-perimeter trust — no VPN required for users.
- Cloud Armor filters volumetric and OWASP attacks before identity checks even run.
- The app itself never handles login flows; identity is asserted upstream and verified per request.
- Audit logs capture every access decision for compliance and incident forensics.
- Least-privilege IAM on the app service account limits damage if the app is compromised.
