Google Cloud Publishes Minimum Viable Security Checklist

Google Cloud today published a recommended security checklist inspired by Minimum Viable Secure Product (MVSP) principles to help organizations harden cloud security and prepare for agentic AI. The curated, tiered list includes 60 controls across six domains (authentication, resource management, infrastructure, data protection, network, and monitoring) and provides an automatable Terraform repository for deployment. Google cites its 2025 Threat Horizons Report: weak credentials (47%) and misconfigurations (29%).
