The additional credential provides a stronger\nsignal of device identity and helps protect your organization from credential\ntheft or accidental loss by requiring that both the user credentials and the\noriginal device certificate are present before granting access.\n\nRelying only on credentials, like bearer tokens, to grant access to the Google Cloud\nAPIs and resources can put you at risk. Those credentials can be exposed by user\nerror or become prime targets for attackers. If attackers obtain the\ncredentials, they can replay the credentials to access resources.\n\nBy using CBA, you enhance the security of your resources by requiring an\nadditional authorization factor, a device certificate. Device certificates are\nvalidated and verified using a mutual TLS handshake. This requires users to\nprove possession of the private key associated with the certificate, thereby\nproviding a strong signal of device identity.\n\nFollowing is a high-level illustration of the CBA access flow:\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n### The benefits of using Google CBA\n\nFollowing are some of the benefits of using CBA.\n\nComprehensive Security\n: Protects your important resources by preventing access using stolen\n credentials from untrusted devices, such as cookie theft.\n: Protects all Google Cloud API requests regardless of access points,\n including on-premises or Google networks, and web browsers or desktops applications.\n\nFine-grained Policy Control\n: Works seamlessly with VPC Service Controls service perimeters and lets you to specify\n fine-grained access control over your resources.\n: Works seamlessly with user groups and lets you apply CBA to a group of users.\n\nGood Developer Experience\n: Automated CBA support in common libraries and tools, such as the\n gcloud CLI, which reduces the programming cost of using CBA.\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- [Understand mutual TLS at Google Cloud](/chrome-enterprise-premium/docs/understand-mtls)\n- [Set up certificate-based access](/chrome-enterprise-premium/docs/set-up-cba)"]]
