Conclusion
This article was significant, and I am convinced that Google provides top-notch security for all its Cloud customers. This is because Customer’s data protection is a fundamental design consideration for all Google’s infrastructure, products and personnel operations. Also, I have np0 doubt that Google’s level of data protection exceeds that of most public cloud providers in the globe. Google is committed to ensuring the control of everyone over his/her data.  No wonder over 64 percent of Fortune 500, trust Google with their most asset.
