# Cluster should have Private Endpoint enabled and public access disabled
 
## Description{% #description %}

A cluster should have private endpoint enabled and public access disabled. These settings will ensure the cluster is properly isolated from public access.

## Remediation{% #remediation %}

**Note**: A cluster created without private endpoint cannot be modified to enable private endpoint. A new cluster must be created.

Follow the [Customize Network Isolation](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/latest/network-isolation#gcloud) guide from Google Cloud to enable private endpoint and disable public access to your cluster.
