Cloud IDS: is an intrusion detection service that provides threat detection for intrusions, malware, spyware, and command-and-control attacks on your network. Cloud IDS works by creating a Google-managed peered network with mirrored VMs. Traffic in the peered network is mirrored, and then inspected by Palo Alto Networks threat protection technologies to provide advanced threat detection.

In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps:

  1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.

  2. Enable billing for your project.

  3. Set up IAM permissions.

  4. Setup Authentication.

Installation

virtualenv <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate
<your-env>/bin/pip install google-cloud-ids

Windows
