An organization is concerned about the unlikely event that Google Cloud infrastructure is physically accessed by someone with malicious intent. How is data protected in Google Cloud?

Google Cloud does not delete customer data upon intrusion detection; doing so would cause permanent data loss and violate customer data ownership rights.

Google Cloud does not use quantum computers for data storage; this is a fictional claim with no basis in Google's infrastructure documentation.

Google Cloud encrypts all customer data at rest by default using AES-256 encryption at the storage layer, and data in transit is protected using TLS. Even if physical media were obtained by an unauthorized party, the encrypted data would be unreadable without the corresponding keys. Google manages encryption keys by default, and customers can additionally use Cloud KMS or Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) for greater control.

Data is stored in defined geographic regions and zones chosen by the customer, not in random worldwide locations; security is achieved through encryption, not obfuscation.
