# Binary Authorization Platform Policy

Binary Authorization Platform Policy in Google Cloud is a security control that enforces signature-based validation of container images before deployment. It ensures that only trusted and verified images, signed by authorized parties, can be executed on GKE or Cloud Run environments. This helps maintain compliance, prevent unauthorized code execution, and strengthen the overall software supply chain security.
